The Collections, the architecture, the promise this transformation brings to our region is truly marvelous. I'm honored to be serving on the Committee 100 and help spread the word about the Grand-Reopening and the many festivities planned for all.
Encouraging people to go see the Museum won't be hard. I've long been a fan of the Museum and all the activities and programming- I've also watched approvingly as the campus where it sits has developed walking trails, and invested in outdoor art for all the enjoy.
But I keep learning about how much we have to proud of. I didn't know, for example, that our state was the first in the nation to create a museum with public funding. That admission is always free. Many of us have been to events at the MOA and know that it's always a great place to highlight a good effort. But over a run of 60plus years, museums can lose their freshness and interest by the public. The expansion and re-opening has received a lot of buzz.
We're lucky that Larry Wheeler has been at the helm of the MOA and has brought such enthusiasm, innovative ideas and great exhibits.
He's outdone himself with this expansion. The Rodin collection alone is worth the trip. The architecture- beautiful and simple. The modern art pieces are wonderful.
There are several activities planned, all kicking off with a gala on April 17. For more information, go to www.ncartmuseum.org

Thank you Larry, staff, and all who continue to invest in the museum, including many fundholders at TCF, for this latest gift to our state.
