"Hide & Seek: Picturing Childhood"
Since photography's inception in 1839, children have been popular subjects for the camera. We look to pictures of children as collective memories of childhood itself-a phase of life to which we can never return. This exhibition explores our fascination with childhood as it has been pictured throughout photography's history and up to the present day. Admission: FREE

"GLORIOUS! - The true story of Florence Foster Jenkins, the worst singer in the world"
|
| A charming musical based on the true story of Florence Foster Jenkins, an eager but hopelessly inept American soprano, who built a whole career out of unintentionally butchering beautiful music. At the pinnacle of her improbable fame, she even charmed real artists like Cole Porter, who may have admired her chutzpah as much as they relished the sheer ludicrousness of her performances. |
