SUMMARY:Dinosaurs: Land of Fire and Ice
DESCRIPTION:June 11\, 2022 – January 22\, 2023\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDinosaurs will roar into the Upstate South Carolina\, when the Upcountry History Museum presents Dinosaurs: Land of Fire and Ice. Crossing the threshold of this interactive exhibition means traveling back in time to explore the Age of the Dinosaurs.\n  \n\nDinosaurs: Land of Fire and Ice is the first child-centered exhibit in the country dedicated to expanding the understanding of dinosaurs and their habitats. Designed for young explorers\, ages 3-10\, the bilingual (Spanish and English) exhibit features three distinct sections that build on a child’s innate curiosity about dinosaurs: Land of Fire (a warm dinosaur habitat)\, Land of Ice (a cold dinosaur habitat)\, and a Field Research Station (complete with a Big Dig experience).\n  \nThe steamy Land of Fire\, present day Montana\, introduces visitors to the Triceratops\, T-Rex and the dinosaurs who called this environment home. Children can circle the land in insect costumes\, buzz through a volcano with oozing lava\, work through a swampy bog and identify an ecosystem of animals and plants.\n  \nNo coats are needed for a trip across the Land of Ice where visitors meet the dinosaurs who made their homes in the cold climate of Alaska. Activities include: climbing rocky steps\, breezing down an icy slide\, and hopping across stepping stones in an icy river.\n  \nIn the hands-on Field Research Station children and their caregivers don goggles and research vests\, as they uncover dinosaur bones in a dig station and examine fossils to identify dinosaurs.\n  \nThe exhibit builds on the popular fascination with dinosaurs and includes science\, history\, and literacy based activities to challenge all ages. Sculpted\, touchable dinosaurs\, featuring the most recent scientific findings about dinosaur colors\, textures and structural form create opportunities for young\nexplorers to investigate clues that the dinosaurs left behind.\n  \n\n\nBook a Field Trip!\n\n  \nSponsored By: \n \n                               \n\n\n

SUMMARY:Fast Lane: The NASCAR Photography of Darryl Moran
DESCRIPTION:September 3 – November 5\, 2022\nSpeed\, action\, danger\, corporate logos\, pop icons – these are the defining elements of Darryl Moran’s stock car racing photographs. The first official photographer hired by NASCAR Moran was responsible for capturing all aspects of the races from 1993 to 1997.\n\nDarryl Moran’s images depict the frantic pace of race day as well as the camaraderie of the drivers\, intimate moments with fans and family members\, and the support and spirit of the pit crew. During his tenure\, the self-taught artist captured such legendary drivers as Dale Earnhardt\, Rusty Wallace\, Jeff Gordon\, Mark Martin\, Terry Labonte\, Tammy Jo Kirk\, and Harry Gant. \nMoran’s pictures were some of the first to capture the emotion of the races and the compassion of the drivers and fans. His images\, taken initially for his own interests\, caught the eye of NASCAR executives\, who felt that they signaled a new direction for the sport’s image\, one that focused on a broader scope of experiences and not just the technicality of the race and its winners. Through photographs\, memorabilia\, and objects\, the exhibition explores Moran’s development of this new vision of NASCAR\, one that continues to shape the images of the sport today. \nThe exhibition also examines Moran’s role as a NASCAR photographer\, including taking all the gear needed for the day – cameras\, multiple lenses\, water bottles\, batteries\, media cards\, and more. NASCAR photographers move rapidly from the media center to the garage\, to the track\, and to the winner’s circle. After the first practice ends its back to the media center to process images\, transmit them\, and rest for a few minutes before heading to the garage or track to start all over. When there is a full-race the cycle repeats itself – when the race ends it’s a rush to the winner’s circle to get the best spot for a photo of the winner. And finally\, it is back to the media center to transmit images to the various media outlets. \nIn its commitment to connecting Upstate local history with national and global history\, the Upcountry History Museum will share the story of Greenville Pickens Speedway which started as a dirt track in 1940. After thirty years on dirt\, the Speedway was paved in 1970. On April 10\, 1971\, Greenville Pickens Speedway hosted the first-ever\, start to finish\, live televised NASCAR Race. Since then\, hundreds of sanctioned NASCAR races have taken place at the Speedway. Though the cars and drivers have changed\, the legacy and thrill of racing continues. \n

SUMMARY:Doing the Most Good: The Salvation Army in Greenville
DESCRIPTION:Doing The Most Good: The Salvation Army in Greenville\nOctober 1\, 2022 – February 5\, 2023 \nWhat started as a mission effort in 1904 under a tent at the corner of Brown and Washington Streets when The Salvation Army of Greenville began offering a religious message and good music to anyone willing to listen has evolved into 118 years of service to the community. \nSince its humble beginnings\, the organization continued to expand with a variety of services being offered\, many of which have adapted through the years and are still meeting needs today. This exhibition offers a look at the non-profit’s storied timeline through artifacts\, photos\, and materials from the local archives\, as well as The Salvation Army’s national archives. \nIn his book\, Way Down Beside the Reedy River – A Centennial History\, lifelong Salvation Army member Major Raymond W. Kitchen noted\, “Each succeeding year and change of command brought other and more varied programs to the Citadel on Broad Street and later\, to the other locations as the Army marched through time and the neighborhood. The Salvation Army is still at work today using modern methods and more sophisticated avenues of service to perform the same acts of loving service to humanity.” \nIndeed\, since marching into Greenville more than a century ago\, The Salvation Army in Greenville has remained true to doing the most good. \n  \n  \nPhotos courtesy of The Salvation Army Southern Historical Center\, Evangeline Booth College\, Atlanta Georgia

SUMMARY:Wild Things: The Art of Maurice Sendak
DESCRIPTION:“Let the wild rumpus start!”\nOctober 22\, 2022 – January 8\, 2023 \nThere’s room to run\, stories to explore\, and Wild Things to become at the Upcountry History Museum. \nHe was one of the greatest creators of children’s books in the 20th century – though he didn’t like the term “children’s books” and preferred “books that children like.” Author and artist Maurice Sendak upended expectations by depicting menace\, anxiety and “wild” behavior in picture books devoured by readers of all ages. \nThe Upcountry History Museum will serve as the only South Carolina stop on the Where the Wild Things Are national exhibition tour. Visitors of all ages will experience the fantastical imagination of Maurice Sendak as they explore over 50 pieces of original artwork and step into the pages of his beloved books. \nThe immersive exhibition celebrates Sendak’s life and work by showcasing his most famous pieces through preliminary sketches\, finished artwork\, and interactive experiences. All of this is told through the words of Sendak himself\, intimately connecting the artist to his art and stories. \nSendak created a visual language that has captivated generations of children. Although he sometimes indulged in lighthearted plots\, his picture books often had menacing elements: fanged\nmonsters\, baby stealing goblins and young protagonists placed in dangerous situations. Sendak intentionally gave children the opportunity to engage with ethical dilemmas\, to feel afraid as well as joyful\, and to take part in imaginative play. \nDuring his long career Sendak illustrated over one hundred books\, which continue to thrill and fascinate life-long learners all over the world. The fifty works of art in the exhibition will be accompanied by quotes from fellow illustrators\, friends\, and celebrities\, sharing their thoughts on Sendak and the ways in which he inspired them. As comedian Stephen Colbert stated\, “His art gave us a fantastical but un-romanticized reminder of what childhood truly felt like.” \n                                 \n  \n  \nJeff and Mary Lawson

SUMMARY:Lunchbox Learning
DESCRIPTION:America’s Industrial Revolution\nPresented by Mr.  Jim Saunders\nA young America quickly developed the extraordinary ability to manufacture complex products for the masses. That egalitarian trend accelerated through each successive decade as industries continued to introduce more products\, added value\, higher volumes\, and greater affordability. The process worked despite many cultural obstacles to rapid technological changes. This lecture follows that industrial progression up to and through the Great Depression\, which was a time when there were both remarkable new technologies and unprecedented cultural opposition to economic growth. The lesser-told story of the 1930s is that despite long-term high unemployment and an abysmal business climate\, the decade was the most productive in history to that point. By the time normalcy returned after the war\, the American economy had turned modern. \nJim’s career spanned 40 years as a manufacturing engineer with experience in the automotive\, aerospace\, power transmission\, and other industries with a primary expertise in precision machine design and analyzing the efficient flow of goods across the factory floor. His first book is Blind Spot: How Industry Rescued America’s Great Depression Economy. \n \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLunchbox Learning is generously sponsored by:

SUMMARY:Nutcracker: The Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:The nutcracker sits under the holiday tree\, a guardian of childhood stories. Feed him walnuts and he will crack open a tale… \nIn the Christmas season of merry making\, the ways of celebrating are as many and as varied as possible\, but familiar traditions and stories connect all of us during this time\, influencing our celebrations and holding a special place in our hearts. One such story and tradition is The Nutcracker. \nWhether it’s a tradition to see the ballet or if you only know the songs from hearing them played on Christmas playlists\, we are all familiar with the story of The Nutcracker. Or are we truly? \nThe Upcountry History Museum in partnership with Walt Disney Archives\, The Walt Disney Family Museum\, Charles M. Schulz Museum\, artists James Ransome and Maurice Sendak\, private collectors\, and the Carolina Ballet Theatre will invite visitors to explore the history of the surprisingly dark story behind the ballet and its evolution into a holiday classic. \nFrom its origins as a short story written by Prussian author\, E.T.A. Hoffman in 1816\, to its premiere as a fairy tale ballet in two acts that opened a week before Christmas in 1892\, The Nutcracker has become the most popular ballet to be performed around the world at Christmas time. \nNutcracker: The Exhibition\, a 1\,200 square foot exhibition\, organized by the Upcountry History Museum\, will explore the kaleidoscope of artistic re-imaginings of The Nutcracker\, from the 1820’s to the present. The immersive experience will take visitors on a journey from The Nutcracker’s beginnings as a short story\, to its artistic interpretations in literature\, ballet\, theater\, and film. Original illustrations\, drawings\, film and ballet costumes\, props\, and ephemera will examine multiple perspectives of one of literature’s greatest paradoxes that continues to inspire imagination\, creativity\, and discussion. \nRich with visual interpretation\, the exhibition takes visitors on a journey through the cultural\, technological\, and societal shifts that have compelled artists\, filmmakers\, and fans to return to the tale of The Nutcracker time and time again. \n  \n  \n
