| | NC Museum of Art - Defying Gravity |
 | | From works fashioned from airplane parts to sculpture consisting of 1,400 Mylar butterflies suspended from the Museum’s third-story ceiling, the achievement of the Wright brothers is celebrated with whimsy and beauty, reality and fantasy. |
 | | Flight is also shown triumphantly as a symbol for creativity and transcendence, as in Rosemary Laing’s photographs of an effervescent human figure, reveling in being airborne. |
 | | And while the Wright Brothers’ flight only lasted 12 seconds, you’ll have 18 weeks to experience the exhibition and 80 days packed with family festivals, children's workshops and games, performances, films, lectures and more. |
