Abstract:
The most frequent question asked by children at the Museum’s educational sessions is how they get the art inside the building. The process for how art arrives at the Museum is detailed here. The moving of artwork is well-planned, well-controlled, and well-insured. Most art comes through the loading dock at the Museum and requires a team to oversee the process and art already at the Museum is transported from building-to-building via an underground tunnel.

Abstract:
The newest addition to the North Carolina Museum of Art’s collection of outdoor art is a functional piece of art. The Lowe’s Park Pavilion was designed by Mike Cidndric and Vincent Petrarca of Raleigh to be a work of art but also to be used, experienced, walked through, touched, and as a shelter. This sculptural pavilion offers Park visitors a beautiful sheltered place to stop, rest, and reflect. The appearance of the shelter changes with the time of day and light reflected off of it and it will be used by staff as a place for the outdoor teaching of art.

Abstract:
The author’s interview with a North Carolina State English professor uncovered the faint resemblance between the dialect popularized in movies and real life pirates like Stede Bonnet. What many may regard as “pirate talk” was popularized by English actor Robert Newton. How many pirates actually spoke reflected an Outer Banks residency or origin from a variety of countries, such as France, China, and Spain.

Abstract:
Commemorative monuments are often planned and designed to represent a particular time and place, however, North Carolina lighthouses and the Tar Baby vs. St. Sebastian sculpture unintentionally became monuments of immense importance. The lighthouses were built for practical use to help sailors navigate the difficult North Carolina coastline, but now they are icons of state tourism. Michael Richards' sculpture, Tar Baby vs. St. Sebastian commemorates the Tuskegee Airmen, but after Richards' death during the September 11, 2001 attacks, this sculpture memorializes Richards and those who also lost their lives on 9/11.
