Posted

This is the first time in generations that the entire Panorama will be seen by the public. Set amidst an historic textile mill in New Bedford, visitors will be able to travel around the world and back in time without ever leaving the city. The exhibition will also feature interpretive panels and kiosks to enrich the context and content of the Panorama. This once-in-a-lifetime experience will be free and open to the public, open during normal Museum hours through Columbus Day.

WHEN: “The Original” runs July 14 through Oct. 8; family entertainment and food will be on offer from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on opening day

He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
