What's Going on at the San Bernardino County Museum

March 5, 2008
Last Friday evening I attended the opening of the "Feast for the Eyes" exhibit at the San Bernardino County Museum. It was a fun evening with a cooking demo from Casa Maya cafe. The exhibit located in the main hall of history has table settings of past eras and reflects the more formal life style of past generations.
The museum's curatorial staff has put together a series of exhibits showcases objects from the county's collection. In the Fisk Auditorium is the "All that Glitters" which showcases jewelry and clothing with lots of beads, sequins and lace.
Also in the showcases in the hall of history is the "Textile Traditions" with a modern interpretation of traditional textile and embroidery techniques.
A big event coming up this Saturday, March 8, 2008 is "Insectival" from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. with the Insect Olympics at 1 p. m. and at 2 p.m. CSI, Insects at the Scene of the Crime.
While you are visiting the museum, be sure to peek through and see the progress on the new Hall of Geological Wonders.
The San Bernardino County Museum is recognized world wide for its collections and for the professionalism of the curatorial staff. Another great asset for living in the Inland Empire.
