OT: Raleigh Museum of Art Porsche exhibit PLUS special events
Do I live close to one of the finest art museums in the country or what!
Not only are they offering an upcoming Porsche (only) exhibit, but checkout these additional events I just found out about. A very nice bonus. Hopefully the exhibit and these wonderful extra presentations might lead a couple extra Rennlisters to come to N.C. to visit? Let me know...

Porsche by Design: Seducing Speed marks the North Carolina Museum of Art’s first design exhibition, exploring the history and development of the Porsche lineage from the 1930s to the present day.

Sunday, September 29 | 2:30 pm
East Building, Museum Auditorium
Free; ticket from Museum Box Office required.
If all tickets are taken, "no-show" seats will be released five minutes after start of program. Ken Gross, guest curator of Porsche by Design: Seducing Speed
Acclaimed automotive journalist Ken Gross discusses, starting with the 1938 Type 64, how Porsche's design and engineering produced, from the outset, contemporary cars that embodied the latest trends in streamlining, engineering, suspension, and engine technology. Proven in the crucible of international racing, refined to a fare-thee-well, Porsche's fundamental formula for its cars represents a recognizable, often surprising, always delightful set of solutions to the sports car conundrum.
