Inside Africa
Inside Africa
January 31 - December 31
Here is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to visit Africa ­ without leaving NC. “Inside Africa” is a national traveling exhibition exploring the many facets of Africa ­ people, lands, rich cultural history and its stories. Look through binoculars to see a group of Mountain Gorillas, play traditional African instruments like the kora and calabash, see how a Tuareg family lives on the Sahara and walk through the dark interior of a slave ship ­ spotlighting four enslaved Africans as they each tell their story. “Inside Africa is an adventure you do not want to miss.
