Let’s Get Curious!

Curious George Swings into the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History October 5

T

The insatiable curiosity of Curious George - the little monkey who has captured the imagination and hearts of millions of children and adults for 65 yearscomes to life October 5, 2013, at the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History.

The new exhibit, Curious George: Let’s Get Curious! will introduce young children to Curious George’s world and lead them on a fun, meaningful interactive math, science and engineering-based adventure.

“A Curious George exhibit targeted to children ages three through seven can augment learning in this critical time period,” said Sarah Caruso, Minnesota Children’s Museum President. “The science and math activities in the exhibit will provide a rich and meaningful context in which these skills can be learned and developed in a fun and engaging way.”

sion series produced by Imagine Entertainment, WGBH Boston, and Universal Studios Family Productions that airs on PBS KIDS. The exhibit’s content is based on educational standards developed by MCM and an expert advisory panel from the PBS KIDS series, as well as national standards of science and math for young children.

MCM is a national leader in interactive learning and educational programming for children’s museums. The Museum has designed and built numerous exhibits including Adventures with Clifford the Big Red Dog, The Amazing Castle, Go Figure and Geo-Zoooom that travel to children’s museums and libraries throughout North America.

The Curious George: Let’s Get Curious! exhibit is sponsored by 3M.

West is Among the Best for Culture and Shopping-and-Dining Delights

A

by Michael H. Price

As long as we’re “out where the West begins,” as an iconic figure in Fort Worth’s history described this Cowtown, then we might as well look even further westward within the city itself. Pioneering publisher and civic booster Amon Carter may have intended to give Dallas the razz when he coined that phrase — but the West hardly could have picked a keener starting point than Fort Worth.

And Fort Worth, in turn, hardly could have picked a site more right for its burgeoning west side Cultural District. Rippling with heavyduty commercial, artistic and residential growth since the dawn of the 21st century, the west side overall has seen its very skyline change with the transformation of a busy West Seventh Street into a streamlined conduit connecting the downtown area’s Sundance Square development with the Cultural District. Heading west (naturally) from downtown Fort Worth, one finds the Cultural District radiating from the intersection where Seventh Street crosses University Drive and, in the process, morphs into the historic, brick-paved Camp Bowie Boulevard.

Visitors in search of western-style discoveries — from plain-and-fancy dining to fine art and varied entertainment — will find such delights in volume on the west side. Cultural attractions, restaurants, mainstream and specialinterest shopping, and lavish natural gardens flourish as a reminder of how Fort Worth has built upon its frontier origins. Several of the world’s finer museums, playhouses and galleries anchor a vast Cultural District. The hand-laid red-brick pavement of Camp Bowie Boulevard is an attraction in itself, lined with an everexpanding array of art galleries, stage-and-screen auditoriums, boutiques, scholarly museums, restaurants and lounges, and shopping malls.

The Cultural District The Fort Worth Museum of Science & History, commands the westward view of the district from Montgomery Street and just 6

northward are additional cultural touchstones: An expanded and redesigned Amon Carter Museum of American Art, houses a definitive collection of American paintings, photography, and sculpture, from essential historic works by Charles M. Russell and Frederick Remington to a new acquisition of last-century Native American photography by Edward S. Curtis. Close by is the Kimbell Art Museum, itself preparing for an expansion and still living up to Newsweek’s description as “arguably the most beautiful museum in America.” The neighboring Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth is the oldest such museum in Texas — housed in a work-of-art 2002 building designed by world-renowned Japanese architect, Tadao Ando, and featuring bold gallery exhibitions, concert attractions and, every weekend, leading-edge independent-studio films.

The Museum of Science & History, anchoring a campus within the Cultural District, has been designed by similarly renowned architects Ricardo and Victor Legorreta. Inside the Museum of Science & History, one finds vast galleries of Texas-bred dinosaur specimens and the state’s oil-and-gas heritage, in addition to the Cattle Raisers Museum, the Fort Worth Children’s Museum, Stars Café, and a new digital Noble Planetarium . The Omni Theater, an IMAX® superscreen dome, links with the Museum of Science & History and boasts a new digital sound system and enhanced lighting. The National Cowgirl Museum & Hall of Fame is next door to the FMS&H. The NCM&HF honors women of the American West from those who have lived and worked on ranches or who led an expedition, or sat before an easel, aimed a rifle and hit the bull’s eye, or sat on the Supreme Court.

When the museum meanderings trigger an appetite for fine dining, two long-established, museum-based cafés stand ready to serve. The Kimbell Buffet Restaurant offers indoor or patio lunch and a light evening

The Great Outdoors offers breakfast subs, lunch and dinner subs, soups, salads and all natural ice cream. Off University on White Settlement Road, a Texas barbecue tradition reigns at Angelo’s, offering a half-century of first-class BBQ and ultra-chilled beer.

site within the district, the coliseum holds pride of place as the first domed structure of its kind in the world. The complex also boasts an equestrian center and exhibit halls, home to the annual Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo.

Showplaces of Heritage and Artistry and Nature Shoppers can find a broad selection of merchandise in the Cultural District’s specialty shops. European antiques and upholstery can be found at Domain XCIV and the dh collection boasts progressive furniture designs in an appetite-whetting environment.

Southward off University Drive, visitors can experience the glories of nature at Trinity Park, a pristine oasis bordered by a fork of the placid Trinity River. Here, picnickers, joggers, and strollers can explore meandering pathways or travel on a miniature railroad. Opposite the park, across University Drive, Fort Worth’s Botanic Garden beckons — the oldest such site in Texas, a lush 109-acre tapestry of dappled shade accented by vibrant splashes of color.

The Garden is home to thousands of species of native and exotic plants in 21 specialty gardens.

The European-designed Rose Garden features more than 3,400 roses, and the 10,000-square-foot Conservatory houses tropical flowers and foliage from around the world.

An on-site Gardens Restaurant serves light lunches and refreshments — with a view of the Garden and a varied gallery that often displays the work of local artists.

A short distance southward lies the illustrious Fort Worth Zoo, nationally ranked among the finest. The Zoo is home to thousands of animals, both native and exotic. Viewing facilities and natural habitat exhibits are set up for optimal views of the animals, often separated from their observers by only a river, a waterfall, or a large window. Shaded rest spots and picnic tables are available, with several on-site eateries.

Across from the Zoo, Log Cabin Village offers another view of the city’s rich frontier history boasting seven authentic log homes, dating from the mid-to-late 1800s. Perioddressed interpreters greet visitors inside each cabin offering a living history of the home and its origin.

The mood to explore might be triggered by art, dining, shopping, or the wonders of nature. Fort Worth’s west side meets all these interests and then some!

Through Aug. 11 Amon Carter Museum of American Art’s current exhibition is “Romare Bearden: A Black Odyssey” which displays about 50 works of art from one of the most powerful and original artists of the 20th century. Collages, watercolors, and prints based on Homer’s epic poem The Odyssey make up the exhibit.

Bearden was born in Charlotte, N.C. but his family moved to Harlem when he was a child. His family’s home became a meeting place for major figures of the Harlem Renaissance, introducing him to the world of art. He earned a degree from New York University where he was also editor of the monthly journal The Medley. Amon Carter director Andrew J. Walker says, “Bearden’s reinterpretation of The Odyssey has a universal appeal. ...The artworks are beautiful and filled with vivid, saturated colors and geometric images that captivate the imagination. [Since] Bearden’s work is not in our collection, the exhibition offers an introduction of this important American artist to our visitors.” Robert G. O’Meally, curator of the exhibit, authored an illustrated companion book that can be purchased in Amon Carter’s Museum Store+Café for $45.

Through Sept. 8 Kimbell Art Museum presents Wari: Lords of the Ancient Andes. In the late-sixthcentury a drought ravaged the central Andean region of what is Peru today, as well as parts of other nearby countries. The Wari civilization formed a new culture in the wake of the disaster producing a society of such complexity that many today regard it as South America’s first empire. The Kimbell exhibition of about 145 artworks explores the Wari’s accomplishments through polychrome ceramics, ornaments made of precious metals or colorful mosaics, sculptured wood and stone objects, and textiles of amazing complexity. Since the Wari never developed a written language modern opinion about their achievements are based on their artwork and other material remains. It is believed that the artworks were circulated throughout the Wari society acting as a method of communication about their beliefs: how they saw themselves, nature, and the divine realm.

In executing the portraits, Lanker used a mixed media of oil pastel over watercolor. And in at least one instance she used egg tempera to get the results she wanted. Among the women whose portraits make up the display, eight are honorees in the National Cowgirl Museum’s Hall of Fame.

Glen Rose CVB The Promise Prepares for Its 25th Season in America’s Dream Town

By Billy Huckaby, Director, Glen Rose Convention & Visitors Bureau

One of the major outdoor spectacles in Texas kicks off its 25th season when The Promise opens in Glen Rose on Friday, August 30. This magnificent show, which has been performed in front of hundreds of thousands of people and toured the world in such far away places as Russia, runs every Friday and Saturday night from September through October 26.

The Promise debuted in 1989 and began as a passion play, but has evolved into a live musical drama that has enthralled generations of spectators. In 1993 The Promise became the first Christian production to be allowed into the former Soviet Union and in 1994 the troupe returned for a tour of encore performances.

The Promise is a rare opportunity to see the story of Jesus’ life as a musical, which makes it unique among other American passion plays.

The Promise is truly a community production as area residents from Glen Rose and surrounding communities work with theatrical professionals from across the country. The show is epic in scale, featuring a large cast of not only people, but also animals.

Texas Amphitheatre is the backdrop for The Promise with its spectacular sets, sound, and lighting. Recognized as one of the top outdoor venues in Texas, Texas Amphitheatre sits atop a hill overlooking the surrounding area and seats more than 4,000 people.

Call 254-897-3926 or visit www. thepromiseglenrose.com for tickets: General admission is $20 and group rates are available. Shows start at 8 p.m.

Glen Rose also offers a number of overnight opportunities ranging from upscale lodges to a variety of bed and breakfasts, cabins, cottages, campgrounds, hotels, and RV parks. For more information on The Promise or Glen Rose attractions, contact the Glen Rose Visitor Information Center at 1-888-346-6282 or visit their web site at www.glenrosetexas.net.
