Has anyone been to see this?
It is at the history museum until Jan 13 2008
http://ncmuseumofhistory.org/lostcolony/site/index.html
it sounds interesting to me, but they dont really describe what is in the exhibit besides saying "paintings and artifacts" 11/4/2007 1:40:22 PM |

I plan on going, even though I've never been impressed with anything at the NC History Museum. 11/4/2007 3:44:49 PM |

Anyway, I'll check it out if I can find if. You know being lost and all. Wow, that was really bad. 11/4/2007 5:29:33 PM |

They would probably get much better attendance if they could tie it into Lost somehow. 11/4/2007 7:15:25 PM |

they should do something on the growth of the triangle/state in the past 30-40 years 11/4/2007 7:42:06 PM |

From what I understand it's different things from the time period (obvious, I know) clothing, maps, paintings, engravings, watercolors by John White (which is a huge deal to the people there at the museum) and such.
My mom is helping run it and I'm probably going Wednesday night to the event that they're holding ] 11/4/2007 8:06:42 PM |

aha wtf
that's a gorgeous image, but how much of that is rooted in reality? 11/7/2007 10:42:51 PM |

aha, they had quite a few of the blue people. There was a woman who had star bursts on her boobs and belly button too. My mom and I wanted to know which parts were painted on and which were tattoos 11/7/2007 10:48:29 PM |

For real.
I always feel bad for it... sucking so much, while sitting right next to the comparatively awesome museum of natural history.11/8/2007 12:23:40 AM |

Sorry for the rest of you. 11/8/2007 12:50:36 AM |

bttt...has anyone gone? is it worth the 15 dollars it is or whatever? how is the gift store? 12/10/2007 4:06:55 PM |
miska All American 22242 Posts user info edit post |
it was alright. I wasn't very into it, but you might be if you like the time period.
I liked the gift shop, but as always, it's crazy overpriced. 12/10/2007 5:20:59 PM |

my whole thing was that i would think anything they could possibly show i could find on the internet with enough searching...doesnt seem like it would be all that spectacular 12/10/2007 5:23:30 PM |
