Ask for a Slow Art Day Guide at the front desk and head to the Special Exhibit Gallery for a guided experience of Unforgettable: The Civil Rights Photography of Cecil Williams. \nAllow yourself uninterrupted time with the photography on exhibit. Use your guide to reflect on your observations either individually\, through journal writing response\, or with your own learning community. Invite friends and family to have a conversation on what you each discovered and noticed. \nOn average\, museumgoers tend to view objects for under 30 seconds. Some say 7 seconds is the most time a viewer will spend looking at an object in a museum or gallery. How long does 30 seconds feel like? What about 5 minutes? How does the time we spend looking at something influence our observation? \nFounded in 2010\, Slow Art Day is a global event (more than 1\,500 museums and galleries have participated) with a simple mission: help more people discover for themselves the joy of looking at and loving art.

Our Prehistoric Palmetto State is an engaging presentation on the process of fossilization and the diverse animals present in South Carolina’s fossil record. Paleontologist Ashby Gale will construct explanations for why fossil deposits are located where they are\, interpret past data from the fossil record to analyze historical climate patterns\, and explore the driving mechanisms of fossilization processes. Throughout the presentation\, he will share different fossils collected in the Lowcountry for the audience to get an up-close look at the Lowcountry’s prehistoric past! The presentation typically lasts an hour and 15 minutes\, and guests may ask questions at the conclusion of the talk. \nGuests may bring fossils and questions! For fossils\, please limit to 10 finds per family to ensure the line doesn’t get too long.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][nectar_btn size=”large” open_new_tab=”true” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Accent-Color” icon_family=”none” text=”Register Here” url=”https://www.eventbrite.com/e/our-prehistoric-palmetto-state-tickets-1978611031859″][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]Mr. Gale will also have copies of the book he helped co-author\, A Beachcomber’s Guide to Fossils\, for sale ($29.95).

Authored by Bob\, Pam\, and Ashby Gale\, this guide offers more than twelve hundred high-quality color photographs and detailed descriptions of more than three hundred fossil specimens found on beaches from Texas\, east to Florida\, and north to New Jersey. \nTickets go on sale to the general public on March 31\, 2026\, at 9 am. \nThe cost to attend is free\, but registration is required via the link on this page.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
