Littleneckhalfshell Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Posted in "Raids" an hour before you regarding the opening date change. I had the old date of May 24 on my calendar, but ran into some conflicting info while surfing the web and after an email, found that the new opening date was the 31st. I guess for some reason they didn't want it to open Memorial Day weekend (Memorial day is the 26th this year) Glad I found the updated information, I was going to try to go that first week, and if I had, would have been badly dissappointed.

Kate Souris Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Michael and I went to see it in Cincy twice. Fantastic exhibit! Dissapointed that no photos were allowed, but of course in the tradition of making as much money as possible....they had a wonderful book full of color photos of the artifacts for sale in the convieniently placed gift shop at the end of the tour!

blackjohn Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Fwiw, the opening was pushed back one week because they weren't sure they'd have enough time to pack up all the Star Wars stuff and put together all the Whydah stuff. For closing day of Star Wars, there's a good chance some pirates may duke it out with some Stormtroopers on the steps of the museum. My Home on the Web The Pirate Brethren Gallery Dreams are the glue that holds reality together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt Thighbiter Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 I find it mildly irritating that such a prestigious exhit's main page shows a pistol that was from at least a century after the GAoP. Cap and ball indeed. Pirate music at it's best, from 1650 onwards The Brigands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaelsbagley Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 No pictures eh? Got a camera phone? All joking aside... I thought about it.. And thought about it a lot... They didn't even alow cell phone use in the museum when the exhibit was on display in Cincy. I had even considered bringing a camera and taking pictures despite the rules, but Jessica (Kate Souris) was insistant that I not get her camera confiscated, so I decided against it. Maybe those out east will get lucky and the "no cameras" thing will have been a Cincy museum rule, and not a rule that will travel with the exhibit.
