I like Bayfest, have been the past 2 years.

We wanted to go to Jazz Fest but the flights from DFW are either booked or expensive. Maybe next year and book well in advance.

Gallery and Museum Exhibits

CSS Alabama Cannon Coming Home to Mobile
Museum of Mobile

One of the guns of the confederate raider, CSS Alabama has returned to the home of its captain, Admiral Raphael Semmes. The CSS Alabama sank in about 200 feet of water off Cherbourg, France, after an engagement with the Union's USS Kearsage on June 11, 1864. The recovered artifacts, many of them already on display at The Museum of Mobile, provide information about the CSS Alabama's construction, her technologies, armaments and the lives of those who served on her. Through archaeological projects such as the CSS Alabama excavation we share the story of our past.

The city carpenters and the Museum staff are currently building a cannon carriage for its display. They expect the gallery renovation to be complete sometime this summer.

Moving Vehicles
Through Sunday, March 7
Space 301, 301 Conti Street
Curated by Mia Kaplan, Co-Owner, AMMO Gallery, New Orleans, LA

When we think of "Moving Vehicles", we think of something mechanical, or of transportation. We become aware of the presence of something that is in motion, driven by a mysterious science. How often do we think of each other? Each one of us is a moving vehicle in our own right - an entity that is similarly mechanical, driven by events, beliefs, propaganda, goals, and an array of possibilities. What evidence has been left of these experiences? What vehicles have we created on our own, both literally and with the metaphor provided, that have taken us to where we are now?
