People from all over the world crossing in every direction of the sidewalks and streets. Limousines stuck in traffic full of very important people. The Core of our government, Washington, DC. The knowledge I absorb with all of the museums is overwhelming. But I leave DC with an appetite to learn more and see more.

When I started exploring Winston Salem I was happy to find museums with rotating exhibits. A modern art museum and a more traditional museum and then recently a museum just about the history of Winston Salem. When you have some free time during the day and don't want to spend a lot of money, spend some time in a museum. Take a notepad so you can write down anything that inspires you.

Free for students
Current Exhibit:
American Still Life

My first visit to Reynolda House was with an Art History class in my first year at UNCSA. We explored the lavish and beautiful mansion that once belonged to R J Reynolds and wife, Katherine. Since then I've returned to the museum to picnic in the large field in front of the house, to climb the trees just beside the house and to participate in Cinema Under the Stars. There is SO much to do at Reynolda Village than just see the museum. Which will be covered in a future post.

I was introduced to SECCA by Mrs. Betsy Townes in my Art History class. After a nostalgic bus ride, we arrived and the exhibit incorporated films which interested all of my fellow film-ies. When you enter SECCA any temporary exhibits are to the left. To the right of the entry is their permanent exhibit of the lavish and beautiful home.

Ghost Signs of Forsyth County: collaborating with Sawtooth School for Visual Art's Photography and Digital Media Classes.
Permanent Exhibit:
Every Picture Tells our Story. Over a hundred photos of the History of Winston Salem dating back to 1856 with a photo of Salem College and Academy teachers.
As I mentioned in my first post, I happened to come across the New Winston Museum while wandering around the Old Salem Cobblestone Farmer's Market. Chris Jordan, the Director of Programming had no objection to sitting with me and telling me a little about the new museum. I was excited to hear that he wishes to collaborate with UNCSA more in the coming months!
