“Around the World: European Folklife”

Printer-friendly version

The Charleston Museum’s “Around the World” series for children continues with an exhibit focusing on European folklife. Kids can compare their own clothing to Greek costumes and shoes from the Netherlands and see how their high-tech entertainment compares to Czechoslovakian toys and Italian marionettes. They can also examine Spanish pottery and weapons, French and Swiss handicrafts, and a Romanian samovar—a brass urn used for heating water to make tea. The Charleston Museum, 360 Meeting St. Monday-Saturday, 9am-5pm; Sunday, 1-5pm. $10; $5 ages three-12; free for child under three. (843)722-2996, www.charlestonmuseum.org
