FEAST YOUR EYES on stunningly beautiful specimens of native Californian Gold brought to life by gold rush memorabilia. See The Mojave Nugget, the largest known gold nugget ever found in California. The nugget, which weighs 156 troy ounces (4.9 kg), is part of the Margie and Robert E. Petersen Collec-tion of gold nuggets that was donated to the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. Rounding out the exhibit are artifacts from Northern California’s Ori-ental Mine and recovered treasure from “SS Central America,’ sometimes called the “Ship of Gold.” The ship sank in a hurricane in September 1857, along with 400 passengers and crew and 30,000 pounds of gold, greatly contributing to the Panic of 1857.

Examples of gold found in their natural forms of leaves and crystals are increasingly rare. Most gold is retrieved in a metallic state in the form of dust, grains, flakes, or nuggets. It is found, in quartz veins, or lodes so finely disseminated that it is not easily vis-ible, and placer deposits, where the gold ends up as sediment in the bed of the stream or on its flood plain or delta and can be gathered by panning, dredging, and hydraulic mining.

The gold in this exhibit which was recovered from the “SS Central America” ship was 8000 feet below the surface of the ocean for almost 150 years. It is fascinating to consider how, though the metal parts from the ship had been badly eaten away by rust, the gold remained unharmed and its value had only increased over time.

Pacific Coast Wine Festival (PCWF) celebrates its fifth anniversary by bringing the best of Napa Val-ley and beyond to Orange County for a sensational evening filled with world-class wines, enticing, rare auction items and a lavish gourmet feast. Taking place Saturday, March 3, at the luxurious Island Hotel in Newport Beach, this year’s event promises to be more unique than ever with all new wines to taste chosen by Advanced Sommelier Jim Houston from Charlie Palmer; a new five-course meal prepared by the Island’s chef David Man; and two rare bottles of Screaming Eagle up for auction. Roaming somme-liers and winemakers assist guests as they explore the different personalities of wines from the newer cult boutiques in California to the old-world wines of Rhone and Burgundy. Live and silent auctions offer some of the world’s most coveted wines, as well as luxury items and exclusive dining and destination experiences. The evening, which is not just for wine enthusiasts and collectors, but also for those who wish to support music education, includes a special solo performance by Pacific Symphony Youth Orchestra cellist Philip Sheegog.

Considered an important fund-raiser, the event’s proceeds benefit Pacific Symphony’s award-winning artistic and education programs designed to inspire children to embrace a lifetime love of great music. Seating is limited; tickets start at $375 per person; for information on purchasing tables or tickets, please contact Ricki Shab at (714) 876-2364 or rshabPaci-ficSymphony.org and visit www.PacificSymphony.org/PSWF and www.PacificCoastWineFestival.com. The PCWF enjoys support from some of the wine industry’s major players including Southern Wine

and Spirits, Golden State Wine and Learn About Wine.

“What I enjoy most about wine is that it’s a constant learning experience,” says Mike Kerr, the wine festival’s founder and committee member. “Different winemakers, terroirs and harvests can produce profoundly different wines even if made from the same grape varietals. And the Pacific Coast Wine Festival offers a fun, relaxed atmosphere to taste and acquire some of the best and most interesting wines produced each year. We’re offering a solid line-up of about 40-50 wines to taste (go slowly and just sip!) as well as great wine to purchase in our silent and live auctions. Come join us for a great evening!”

Every year the festival continues to grow in scope and spirit—last year’s dinner and auction attracted hundreds of guests and netted approxi-mately $160,000 for the Symphony. This year’s event, chaired by Symphony board member Alex McKinnon, is limited to just 325 people with a passion for excellent wine and music education.

The evening gets underway at 5 p.m. in the elegant surroundings of the five-diamond Island Hotel’s ball-room with appetizers, a wide-array of wine-tasting opportunities and a silent auction. The sumptuous wine-paired dinner begins at 7:15 p.m. in the ballroom as the awe-inspiring young cellist Sheegog performs “Julie-O” by Mark Summer. The evening culminates with an exciting live auction, featuring some of the finest wines and auction lots in the United States.

PCWF features a great mixture of wines from California’s best boutique wineries: Crocker & Starr,

Chappellet, David Arthur Dragonette, Golden State Wine Co., Hudson Vineyards, Kamen Wines, Lail Vineyards, Miner Family, Patz & Hall, Pride Mountain, Ramey Wine Cellars, Robert Kacher Selections, Rudius Wines and Stuhlmuller Vineyards. Premium wines from established favorites include: Chateau Montelena, Foley Estates, Layer Cake/Cherry Pie, Paul Hobbs Imports, Pine Ridge, Seghesio and Sil-ver Oak. Other wineries present are Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou, Chateau Haut-Brion, Chateau Leoville Barton, Chateau Margaux, Chateau Mouton Roths-child, Cos d’Estournel, Screaming Eagle, Three Sticks and Vega-Sicilia.

Notable auction items include a Mikimoto 8x9mm Akoya (pearl) necklace with matching stud earrings, two tickets to the Newport Beach Film Festival’s Open-ing Night Film and Gala, VIP wine tours and tastings and exclusive stays in vineyard guesthouses.

The evening concludes with guests enjoying gour-met chocolates and vintage port.

The Bowers MuseuMThe Bowers Museum is located in

Santa Ana, California, in Orange County. The museum offers exhibitions, lectures, art classes, travel programs, children’s art and music education programs, and other community events. The museum’s guiding philosophy is to help people learn about other cultures through their arts, and offer a greater understanding of ourselves and appreciation of the world in which we live.

The museum’s name comes from Charles Bowers, a late 1800s Orange County land developer, who donated the land on which it stands to the City of Santa Ana. The building was constructed in 1931, after the death of Ada Bowers (Charles’s wife) who left the property unoccupied. The new building remained empty for four years after because the Great Depression prevented the city from paying any operating funds.

The Bowers’ permanent collection provides an opportunity to examine, compare, and contrast the highly di-verse cultures of the world. The collec-tion includes more than 100,000 objects focusing on several areas, such as Afri-can, South Pacific, Asian, Native Ameri-can, Pre-Columbian art, and California plein-air painting. The Bowers has also presented over 60 special exhibitions, notably Terra Cotta Warriors: Guard-ians of China’s First Emperor,Secret World of the Forbidden City, and Mum-mies: Death and the Afterlife in Ancient Egypt…Treasures from the British Museum. The museum has cultivated partnerships with the Smithsonian, the Nanjing Museum, the Shanghai Mu-seum, and the British Museum, among others, to bring national and interna-tional exhibitions from the world’s great-est museums to Southern California.

Discovery science cenTerThe Discovery Science Center,

formerly known as the Taco Bell Dis-covery Science Center, is a science museum in Santa Ana, California, with more than 100 hands-on science exhibits designed to spark children’s natural curiosity. It has become a vi-

sual landmark due to its ten-story solar array cube that stands over Interstate 5.

In 1984, the Boards of the Exploratory Learning Center and the Experience Center joined to form the Discovery Museum of Orange County with the dual goals of teaching children what life was like in Orange County in the 1900s and creating a world-class science center. A funding feasibility study in 1989 indicated that county leaders would sup-port the project. The 59,000-square-foot facility was opened on December 17, 1998. In 2008 the Center became an affiliate within the Smithsonian Affilia-tions program.

The center is divided into several themed areas: Discovery Stadium, Techno Arts, Air & Space, Perception, Dynamic Earth, Quake Zone, the Digital Lab and KidStation. Some of the avail-able exhibits at the museum include Dino Quest, an interactive work which opened in 2006 and includes life-size dinosaurs; and Science of Hockey, which opened in 2009 and presents the various scientific aspects behind the game of hockey with the help of the Anaheim Ducks franchise.

FullerTon ArBoreTuMThe Fullerton Arboretum is a 26 acre

botanical garden with a collection of plants from around the world, located on the northeast corner of the California State University, Fullerton campus in Fullerton, California, USA.

The Arboretum’s garden paths wan-der through four major collections: Cul-tivated, Woodlands, Mediterranean and Desert Collections. Highlights include Southern California native vegetation, Rare Fruit Grove, an 11,000 sq ft organ-ic vegetable garden, historic Citrus and Avocados, Channel Islands Garden, an extensive Cycad Collection, Conifer Collection, Palm Grove, Community Gardens, and a Children’s Garden.

The Orange County Agricultural and Nikkei Heritage Museum is located on the grounds of the Fullerton Arboretum, and highlights the region’s agricultural history, as well as the contributions of the local Japanese American commu-nity and other pioneering farmers. The museum is a collaboration between Fullerton Arboretum and California State University Fullerton.

Heritage House is a historic house museum decorated as a doctor’s home and office of the 1890s. The Eastlake-style cottage was built by one of Fuller-

ton’s pioneer doctors, Dr. George Crook Clark, in 1894. The home was moved to the arboretum campus in 1972 to save it from demolition. It was originally located at the corner of Amerige and Harvard (Lemon) in the center of Ful-lerton. Docents lead tours of the house on weekend afternoons.

heriTAge MuseuMThe Heritage Museum of Orange

County is one of the most interesting cultural and natural history centers in Southern California. The centerpiece of the museum, which covers nearly 12 acres in all, is a historic plaza featuring several buildings from the 1890s set amid extensive floral gardens and citrus groves. Among these is the Kellogg House, familiar to teachers and students throughout Orange County as a favorite field trip destination for nearly 25 years.

Our programming offers school children the opportunity to partake in innovative hands-on programs designed to encour-age exploratory and imaginative learning. Dedicated to enhancing education, the museum has helped preserve, promote and restore the heritage of Orange County and the surrounding regions since 1985.Over the past decade, the museum has sustained itself by developing a fee-based social service enterprise, and by offering a variety of other activities including public tours, tea parties, themed fundraisers, weddings and corporate events.

We are also caretakers of Santa Ana’s last surviving freshwater marsh, a tiny remnant of the extensive wetlands that once existed throughout the lowlands of Orange County.

The Heritage Museum of Orange County is a cultural and natural history center dedicated to preserving, promot-ing, and restoring the heritage of Orange County and the surrounding region through quality hands-on educational pro-grams for students and visitors of all ages.

i n T e r n A T i o n A l surFing MuseuM

The International Surfing Museum is

a non-profit, 501(c) museum in Hunting-ton Beach, Orange County, California. The museum’s goal is to preserve the history of the surfing culture throughout the globe. It is dedicated to Duke Kah-anamoku, who is generally regarded as the person who popularized the modern sport of surfing.

The International Surfing Museum displays historic surfboards, provides information about legendary surfers, and shows classic surf films. Visitors can examine artistic surfing sculptures and hear surf music. Admission to the museum is without charge.

The museum moved and opened in the 411 Olive Avenue location in June 1990. Established in the mid 1980s by Ann Beasley and Natalie Kotsch.

lAgunA ArT MuseuMThe museum’s exhibitions, catalogs,

and educational activities illustrate an ongoing examination of California art, which includes historical and contempo-rary art as well as regionally important influences, such as car and surf culture. Through collections, publications, and research on the art of California, Laguna Art Museum promotes understanding of the role of California art and artists in the development of the visual arts nationally and internationally.

Laguna Art Museum is a museum of California art. Its purpose is to provide the public with exposure to art and to promote understanding of the role of art and artists in American culture through collection, conservation, exhibition, research, scholarship and education. Working within the tradition of the oldest cultural institution in Orange County, La-guna Art Museum documents regional art and places it in a national context. The museum maintains its historic ties to the community and is responsive, accessible, and relevant to the area’s diverse population.

Founded in 1918 by a small group of painters who settled in Laguna Beach, the Laguna Beach Art Association de-veloped an exhibition space in which to introduce the best current works being produced by artists in the area. This early emphasis on supporting artists in the region has been an integral part of Laguna Art Museum throughout its history.

In 1996, Laguna Art Museum merged with Newport Harbor Art Museum creat-ing the Orange County Museum

of Art. In April 1997 a new non-profit reestablished Laguna Art Museum as a separate entity from the Orange County Museum of Art. Today the majority of Laguna Art Museum’s pre-merger collection has been returned to the mu-seum. The re-establishment of Laguna Art Museum has been very beneficial in unifying the support of the local com-munity in unprecedented ways.

“One major goal of the MUZEO is to broaden people’s awareness of the matters and issues outside their immediate environment by introduc-ing three national and international traveling exhibits each year,” said Peter Comiskey, executive director of the MUZEO. “This exciting new addition to Orange County’s cultural scene will be buzzing virtually 24/7 with both the featured exhibit and an electic mix of companion activities and events.”

newporT sporTs MuseuMThe Newport Sports Museum was

founded 17 years ago by Orange County resident, John Hamilton, with the purpose of sharing his historic sports memorabilia collection with children and families from all walks of life. Upon open-ing its doors, the Museum began operat-ing under two basic driving principles that are still in effect today: admission would never be charged and a panel of athlete volunteers would demonstrate to at-risk youth the important role that sports had on their lives, including their educational achievements and experi-ences with drugs, alcohol and gangs.

The Museum’s collection now encom-passes over 10,000 items from national and international sports icons, including baseball, basketball, football, hockey, golf and more. In addition, it is proud to offer four motivational and mentor-ship youth outreach programs Athletes C.A.R.E. for Kids, Career Choices, Sport Yourself and the Legacy Leadership Project free of charge to all children, regardless of race or socio-economic status.

The Newport Sports Museum is located right across the street from Fashion Island in Newport Beach. The Museum is open six days a week, Mon-day through Saturday, from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The Museum is closed all major holidays and holiday weekends.

The Richard Nixon Presidential Li-brary and Museum is the presidential library and final resting place of Richard Milhous Nixon, the 37th President of the United States. Located in Yorba Linda, California, the library is one of twelve administered by the National Archives and Records Administration. From its original dedication in 1990 until becom-ing a federal facility on July 11, 2007, the library and museum was operated by the private Richard Nixon Foundation and was known as the Richard Nixon Library & Birthplace. The 9-acre (3.6 ha) campus is located at 18001 Yorba Linda Boulevard in Yorba Linda, California and incorporates the National Historic

Landmarked Richard Nixon Birthplace where Nixon was born in 1913 and spent his childhood. The facility is now jointly operated between NARA and the Richard Nixon Foundation.

Tour the museum at the Nixon Presi-dential Library in Yorba Linda, California, situated on nine acres in southern California just fifteen minutes from Disneyland. In addition to exhibitions, the grounds include President Nixon’s helicopter and birthplace. Visitors are also invited to see the special exhibit galleries, which show a variety of rotat-ing exhibits related to our mission as a national institution and local landmark.

The birthplace is open to visitors, who must be accompanied by a docent on their tour. Visitors will see artifacts that belonged to the Nixon family and other contemporaneous artifacts as they look through the 1.5-story building.

oceAn insTiTuTeThe Ocean Institute is an ocean

education organization located in Dana Point, California. Founded as the Marine Institute in 1977, it offers ocean science and maritime history programs for K-12 students and their teachers. Over 100,000 students and 8,000 teachers from Orange County and the surrounding counties participate yearly in immersion-style programs in the Institute’s ocean-front labs and abroad.

The Institute is open to the general public on weekends, 10 a.m. - 3 p.m.; visitors can see marine animals and ocean-themed exhibits.

Moored at the Institute is its 70-foot marine science research vessel, the R/V Sea Explorer, used for student programs and to take visitors on trips to see marine wildlife, including whale watching. The Institute also maintains the Lazy-W Ranch, a camp located in the Cleveland National Forest where students study the ecosystem. It pro-vides outreach programs via a mobile laboratory provided by the “Ocean in Motion” van and distance learning via video conference.

The Institute maintains two tall ships, the Pilgrim, a 130-foot vessel used in overnight and dockside pro-grams, and the Spirit of Dana Point, a 118-foot topsail schooner. The Pilgrim is a replica of the tall ship that Richard Henry Dana, Jr. sailed onboard into Dana Point in the 1830s. Tall ship programs simulate the experience of a sailor in the 1830s.

The Pilgrim and Spirit of Dana Point are showcased at the Insti-tute’s largest annual event, the Toshiba Tall Ships Festival, held in September. It draws seven or eight tall ships from up and down the coast, and features pirates, singing, cannon battles and a chance to sail on a tall ship.

orAnge counTy MuseuM oF ArT

The Orange County Museum of Art (OCMA) is a museum located in Newport Beach, California.

The museum’s collection com-prises more than 3,000 objects, with a concentration on the art of Cali-fornia from the early 20th century to present. Exhibits include traditional paintings, sculptures and photogra-phy, as well as new media in the form of video, digital and installation art.

Masters of Adornment: The Miao People of China presents women’s costumes, textiles, and silver jew-elry from the Miao culture living in southwestern China. Featuring approximately 80 objects, mostly drawn from the Bowers Museum’s permanent collection, the exhibition includes several distinct examples of Miao women’s festive wear paired with finely crafted jewelry. More than an examination of masterful techniques and styles, these objects reveal hundreds of years of Miao his-tory and tradition, and the required patience and dedication to achieve beauty. The exhibition opens at the Bowers Museum on November 15, 2008 and remains on view in-definitely in the Susan and Stephen Chandler Gallery.

With a population of over seven million, the Miao people make up one of the largest nationalities of the fifty-six recognized ethnic groups in China. They are an ancient culture with established roots that precede Han dynasty rule (206 B.C.–220 A.D.), perhaps by over a thou-sand years. Through the centuries, they have migrated south across China, settling in vastly diverse en-vironments of southwestern China’s Guizhou, Sichuan, Guangxi, Yun-

nan, and Hainan Island provinces. Throughout these provinces, more than 150 Miao regional sub-groups are distinguished by, among other cultural differences, preference in dress and personal adornment.

In general, Miao women’s cloth-ing is more elaborate, colorful, and ornate than men’s attire. Textile pro-duction is the proud work of women who begin learning embroidery and batik dying techniques as early as six years old. By the time a girl is a young woman, she has mastered techniques that allow her to prepare special dresses suitable for festive and celebratory occasions. These elaborate ensembles may take a young woman up to five years to complete. Miao women lovingly prepare their clothing, taking time to create jackets and skirts inspired by tradition, and personalized through stitch and design.

Among the Miao living in the east-ern regions of Guizhou, Dandu-style festival jackets feature batik-dyed fabrics with traditional fine spirals, scalloped-edge designs, and precise symmetrical patterns on the shoul-ders and sleeves. The jacket mate-rial is dyed with indigo, and made to be stiff and shine through various techniques of applying natural sub-

stances. Other garments, such as dyed pleated skirts, are found throughout all sub-groups of the Miao in dif-f e ren t va r i a -t i ons . These skirts are typi-ca l l y i nd i go -dyed and can have between 100–500 pleats, each with folds that are pinched into perfect form.

On special occasions, young women layer their jewelry of shiny crowns, hairpins, bracelets, neck-laces, earrings, and clothing or-naments in a dazzling display of brilliance, movement, and sound. In some cases, a young woman’s adornments may weigh up to twenty pounds. These fine silver pieces are usually gifted or handed down to daughters through their families. Jewelry can be purchased from the village silversmith, an occupation reserved for men whose technique and artisanship is passed from father to son.

Miao dress and jewelry overall reflects the natural world that sur-

rounds them. Believing to be de-scendents of Mother Butterfly, they are closely tied to the water-buffalo for labor and food, and motifs or representations of these animals appear regularly upon clothing and silver ornaments. Flowers, fish, birds, centipedes, and other ele-ments taken from nature are always symbolic, often tied to attributes of wealth, happiness, fertility, and good fortune.

Location and Hours: The Bowers Museum is located at 2002 North Main Street, Santa Ana, CA 92706. Open hours are: Tuesday–Sunday, 10 am–4 pm; the fourth Thursday of every month, 10 am–8 pm.

$150k RAISED AT YMCA REACH OUT GALA

The 36th Annual YMCA Reach Out Gala was held at The Hyatt Regency Resort and Spa in Huntington Beach with over 250 guests. They enjoyed a champagne reception and a lively silent and live auction. Live auction highlights included a Newport Bay Yacht cruise for 20, a five night stay at Ritz Carlton vacation property in the Bahamas with two round trip Southwest Airlines Vouchers, a seven night stay in Kauai, Hawaii and $5,000 worth of custom outdoor furniture donated by O.W. Lee.

Entertainment was provided by the dancers and vocalists of Wayne Foster Entertainment. Whimsical butterfly accented floral trees were provided by Jenny B. Floral Designs. The evening was hosted by Kent French, Voice of the Anaheim Ducks and also an Anaheim Family YMCA Board Member.

The YMCA Reach Out Gala originally began as a women’s luncheon for the YMCA Foster Care Program, hosted by Orange County philanthropist Donna Crean. In 2009, the event transitioned from YMCA Reach Out Awards into the YMCA Reach Out Gala. In 2010, a new tradition was born, transforming the event into a collaborative fundraiser between the YMCA of Orange County, the YMCA of Orange and the Anaheim Family YMCA. In 2012, the event was moved to February to highlight the Annual Support Campaigns of three YMCA’s. Proceeds of this year’s gala will benefit the YMCA’s Financial Assistance Programs throughout the county, providing support to children, individuals and families who would otherwise be unable to participate in Y programs.

The evening marked important milestones for the YMCA: including 125 years of the YMCA in Orange County, the 100th Anniversary of the Anaheim Family YMCA and the recognition of National YMCA Honor Roll Donors. The Y recognized 21 individuals, families and family foundations for their contributions totaling $100,000 in their lifetime, to their local YMCA’s, includ-ing C.J. Segerstrom and Sons accepted by Sandy and Sally Segerstrom. Kelly Crean accepted the award on behalf of the family foundation and her grandmother, Donna Crean. Hugh Helm of Newport Beach accepted on behalf of his friends and fellow YMCA OC Board Members, Dave and Pat Lamb. Other honorees included: Alden and Linda Esping, Bob & Delight Nease, David & Amy Davidson, Donald Crevier of Crevier BMW, Donald P. & Dorothy Kennedy, Estate of Edna Archer Smith, J.F. Shea Company Foundation, Marge Hearn, Michael and Diane Stephens, Tom and Cynthia Coad, Tony and Erin Spriggs, Vince and Colette Taormina and W. William and Marcia Gaboury.

Kelly Crean punctuated the evening by drawing the winning ticket of the Y Travel Raffle. Nancy McAdam of San Diego was the lucky winner of a $5000 travel voucher good for any trip or trips valued at or below $5,000, through World Travel Bureau.

The YMCA Reach Out Gala was generously sponsored by The Crean Foundation, as a Diamond Sponsor at $25,000 and Dave and Pat Lamb of Newport Beach, as a Gold Sponsor $10,000. The event raised over $150,000 and funds will be designated to the Anaheim Family YMCA, YMCA of Orange County and the YMCA of Orange.

At the Y, strengthening community is the cause. With a focus on youth development, healthy living and social responsibility, the Y serves Orange County through three separate, nonprofit, mission driven YMCAs: Anaheim Family YMCA, YMCA of Orange County and the YMCA of Orange. YMCA programs celebrate and honor common values of respect, responsibility, honesty, and caring by infusing character development into the foundation and practice of all the programs; from youth sports and group exercise classes to parent/child programs and community services– Y programs build healthy spirit, mind, and body for all.

Following on the monumental success of the 2008 exhibition, Terra Cotta Warriors: Guardians of China’s First Emperor, the Bowers Museum in Santa Ana, California and The Houston Museum of Natural Science partner again for a sequel exhibit of newly-discovered treasures from ancient Chinese tombs. Warriors, Tombs, and Temples: China’s Endur-ing Legacy continues at the Bowers Museum thru March 4, 2012.

On loan from China and making their debut in the United States are 200 incredibly preserved ancient works of art from the three dynasties that form the foundation of Chinese civilization: the Qin (221 –206 BCE), the Han (206 BCE – 220 CE) and the Tang (618 - 907 CE). Many of these artifacts are recent discover-ies, having been unearthed from imperial, royal and elite tombs and from ancient Buddhist monasteries in and around each of these dynas-ties’ capital cities, all located near the modern city of Xi’an in Shaanxi Province.

Ancient Chinese tombs are struc-tured like dwellings on earth, con-taining replicas of all the attendants, food, animals, and in the case of emperors, warriors and government officials to ensure a prosperous and comfortable afterlife for the deceased. Aside from their striking artistic beauty, the objects will also inform visitors about aspects of daily life and values in the capital cities of ancient China: how people made a living, worshipped, traded, and buried their dead. Daily rituals of the royal families, along with what elites wore, rode on, ate from, and took to their tombs.

“The material in the exhibition is dramatic enough to appeal to anyone of any age group or level of familiarity with Chinese culture. The stories the pieces tell are so vivid that the viewer will leave the show with an increased awareness of China’s great historical traditions and its importance in the world to-day,” says Suzanne Cahill, Guest Curator of the Bowers Museum.

From the Qin Dynasty (221 – 206 BCE): The exhibition features four of the famous life-size Terra Cotta Warriors, protectors of China’s First Emperor Qin Shihuangdi, whose mausoleum complex is considered the eighth wonder of the world. Thanks to new conservation tech-niques, the paint on the warriors’ armor is now clearly visible and there

are unexpected touches: premier-ing in this exhibition is the strangest of all—a Terra Cotta Warrior posed as a Kneeling Archer whose face is painted green. Among the thousands

of Warriors excavated to date, it is the only one to exhibit this phenom-ena and remains a subject of intrigue and debate among scholars.

From the Han Dynasty (206 BCE – 220 CE): Smaller in scale (1/3 original size) but equally impressive, are the terra cotta warriors from the imperial tomb complex of the famous Han rebel-turned-emperor and from the fifth Han emperor Jingdi. Like the Qin army of warriors, they have individualized features and are com-pletely outfitted for battle- only their

expressions are peaceful, reflect-ing that this was a less oppressive dynasty. Unique from the Qin dy-nasty, the Han emperors outfitted their figures in actual silk garments and gave them mobility with articu-lated wooden arms; both garments and arms have since disintegrated. The warriors are presented in com-bination with male and female at-tendants, animals and other neces-sities’ required for a prosperous and comfortable afterlife. Additionally, a full-size set of ornate stone tomb doors with surrounding stone frame that once housed a member of the elite, will give viewers a true sense of scale and beauty of an ancient Chinese tomb.

From the Tang Dynasty (618 -907 CE): Warriors, Tombs and Temples: China’s Enduring Legacy dazzles with the riches from the Tang dynasty the zenith of trade in exotic goods and dispersal of innovative ideas along the Silk Road, the ancient trade route that joined the ancient Eastern World with Western Civiliza-tion. The precious objects include gold dragons, fine ornaments, an exquisite tomb guardian and other luxuries. A rare and important paint-ing of a polo game between royals illustrates the adoption of Western influences by the East. Sacred ob-jects including a set of four precious stone and metal reliquary boxes, the innermost of which held the finger bone relic of the historic Buddha, will be displayed for the first time outside of China. The finger bone relic (not part of the exhibition) was the founding deposit of the Famen Temple and was interred with many gold, silver and other fine objects commissioned and gifted by several Chinese emperors and individuals of importance. This important part of the exhibition illustrates the widespread acceptance of Buddhist beliefs among commoners and elites alike, and the high level of artistry of the Tang dynasty.

The exhibition will be accompa-nied by a fully illustrated exhibition catalog authored by noted Tang dynasty scholar, and guest curator

of the exhibition, Suzanne Cahill of the University of California, San Diego. The exhibition catalog may be purchased for $34.95. In addition, a 95 page Guide to the Exhibition, illustrated with exhibition highlights will also be available for purchase for $14.95. Both publications, as well as others related to the exhibition are available at the Bowers Gallery Store, or online at http://shop.bow-ers.org.

Over the next few years the Four Seasons released such unforgettable original songs as “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” “Walk Like a Man,” “Candy Girl” and “Rag Doll,” all of which became rock ‘n’ roll classics. In 1966, Valli released his first solo record. Also in 1966, he scored a Top 40 hit with

“You’re Gonna Hurt Yourself.” That same year, the Four Sea-sons reached the No. 3 spot on the pop charts with “Let’s Hang On.” The year 1967 saw Valli’s “Can’t Take My Eyes off You” rise to No. 2, while “I Make A Fool of Myself” and “To Give (the Reason I Live)” both became Top 40 hits; the Four Seasons also had three Top

40 entries that year, including the gold-selling “C’Mon Mari-anne.” In 1974, Valli was back on top of the charts, going platinum with the bittersweet ballad “My Eyes Adored

You.” “Swearin’ to God,” with its disco beat and contemporary sensibilities went gold, climbing to No. 6 in 1975. That same year, “Our Day Will Come” reached No. 11 on the charts. In March of 1976, “December, ‘63 (Oh, What a Night)” climbed to No. 1 staying at the top for three weeks. Valli scored another megahit in 1978 with the title track of the best-selling Grease soundtrack. When “December, ‘63 (Oh, What a Night)” appeared on the soundtrack to Forrest Gump, it re-entered the singles chart. Owing to its second lease on life, it became the longest-

charting single in history with 50 total weeks. Valli has continued to woo audiences throughout the world both with his recordings and live per-formances

for almost four decades, truly making him one of rock ‘n’ roll’s most enduring performers.

If you have ever sat in a darkened movie theater, gazing at the big screen and wondering, “How did they do that?” the MUZEO has the answer via the all-new interactive exhibit HOW TO MAKE A MONSTER: THE ART & TECHNOLOGY OF ANIMATRONICS. Premiering Saturday, Feb. 13 (continu-ing through Sept. 6), the exhibit unveils the mechanical magic behind various movie monsters. General admission to HOW TO MAKE A MONSTER is $9 at the door; special discount applies to online ticket purchases via www.muzeo.org.

Visitors to the MUZEO will discover the skills and processes involved in bringing a creature from the written page to the silver screen in this fasci-nating “behind the scenes” exhibition. It reveals how monsters and creatures are designed and storyboarded, ma-quettes (models) are made, and then how the full size creatures are sculpt-ed, molded, finished and animated.

Through fascinating concept art, renderings and mock-ups visitors see how animatronics components are designed and installed to create the bones and muscles that bring monsters to life. Through interactive

exhibits visitors actually have the op-portunity to become an animatronics puppeteer.

HOW TO MAKE A MONSTER features the work of John Cox and his company John Cox’s Creature Workshop, winners of the 1995 Visual Effects Academy Awardâ for the movie hit “Babe.” The exhibition includes over 30 individual exhibits including a tower-ing Abominable Snowman, Gorilla from the hit Disney film comedy “George of the Jungle,” plus interactive exhibition components including Disney’s “Inspec-tor Gadget 2” and the enormous Croco-dile from the popular 2003 live-action film version of “Peter Pan” in addition to Australia’s largest prehistoric lizard, the Megalania, and the x-ray eyes of Junior the Dinosaur.

Since 1914 when the first animated film was made, artists across the globe have been providing audiences with ac-cess to animated worlds that live only in the imagination. Digital animation and virtual reality technology have propelled the art of animation to a level of realism and interactivity that was unimaginable just a few short years ago. This exhibi-tion showcases an impressive collec-tion of international artists pushing the

limits of animation technology to create works that are by turn in-sightful, stimulating and hypnotic.

On May 11 , B IZARRE BEASTS: PAST & PRESENT joins in on the fun at the MUZEO to create a two-headed monster exhibition. In BIZARRE BEASTS visitors will experience some of the strangest animals to ever inhabit the Earth. Together, MONSTERS & BEASTS are now… HAIRY, SCARY And… UNLEASHED! Visitors can pur-chase their two-headed monster tickets, including two exhibitions for the price of one, at www.muzeo.org and check for special appearances and programs sur-rounding the exhibitions.

Models of giant birds with 15-foot wingspans, armored fish, strange inver-tebrates, bizarre reptiles and amphib-ians, 350 million year old dinosaurs and strange mammals make up BIZARRE BEASTS.

Highlighting some of the most odd and unusual animals that ever walked, crawled, swam or flew on, in or over the earth will capture your imagination. Created by animal sculptor Gary Staab,

this exhibit brings to life touchable cast skeletons, fossils, and realistic life-sized models that you can interact with. The hands-on interactive exhibit explores how animals evolve and adapt to their environment over millions of years. This exhibit is great for animal or dinosaur-loving kids.

The MUZEO is located at 241 South Anaheim Boulevard in Anaheim. For general MUZEO information, please call 714 – 95-MUZEO (956-8936) or visit www.MUZEO.org.

DISCOVER THE SPECTACULAR DESIGNS OF PETER CARL FA-BERGÉ, the master goldsmith and legendary jeweler still celebrated for his inventive designs and meticulous craftsmanship, through a special ex-hibition, Fabergé: Imperial Jeweler to the Tsars opening at the Bowers Museum June 21, 2012.

“There have been many Fabergé exhibitions around the world over the last several decades. However, very few have showcased some of the most rare and spectacular masterpieces he created, which are on display in this special exhibition,” said Peter Keller, Ph. D., president of the Bowers Museum. “The emphasis here is on the objects of luxury that he created— common, everyday objects that he developed with a sense of turning the everyday into the extraordinary. For example, visitors will see numerous utilitarian items, such as cigarette lighters and cases, numerous hat pins, which have been transformed into objects of luxury by Fabergé and his firm.”

Perhaps best known for Imperial Easter Eggs created for the Russian Royal family, the House of Fabergé also fashioned jewelry and luxuri-ous gifts for many ruling families of Europe, as well as other wealthy patrons. Marvel at exquisite objects produced by the Fabergé workshop at its peak, including personal gifts to the Tsar and Tsarina, an extravagant tiara, the magnificent “Fire Screen”

picture frame, and the famed “Nobel Ice Egg,” one of the few “Imperial-styled” eggs in private hands. From elegantly simple to breathtakingly ornate, the jewelry, clocks, picture frames, boxes and eggs in this collection have been thoughtfully

selected to exemplify extraordinary materials and workmanship.

In recent years, the McFerrin Collection has become one of the world’s most important private collec-tions of Fabergé. While many of the pieces in this collection have been featured individually in other exhibi-tions and publications over the past 60 years, this event marks the first time that the McFerrin Collection has been presented for public display.

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE EXIBI-TION INCLUDE:

eMpress Josephine TiArA Fabergé created this diamond

tiara around 1890. The stunning briolette diamonds were a gift from Tsar Alexander I to the Empress Josephine after her divorce from Napoleon Bonaparte. This piece is one of only a few tiaras ever made by Fabergé.

The noBel ice egg Tsar Alexander III commissioned

the first egg ever created by the House of Fabergé in 1885 as an Eas-ter present for his wife, Tsarina Maria Feodorovna. His son Nicholas II later commissioned such treasures for his wife Alexandra and for his mother, continuing a tradition that would last more than 30 years. Fabergé made eggs for only a small number of other clients; one of those was Swedish industrialist Dr. Emanuel Nobel, who commissioned this treasure between

1913 and 1914. This piece, a jew-eled, enameled presentation egg, is also referred to as the “Snowflake Egg,” its shell ingeniously enameled and engraved to simulate the tracery of frost against a misted ground. It opens to reveal a “surprise”—a rock crystal and diamond pendant watch. The unique watch design was cre-ated specifically for Dr. Nobel and interpreted in other jewelry pieces by Fabergé, some of which Dr. Nobel gave as favors at his dinner parties. Several examples of these “ice jew-els” are included in the exhibition.

Fire screen picTure FrAMe This intricately decorated picture

frame (made between 1908-1917) of gold, platinum and enamel is meant to be viewed from both sides and is arguably one of the finest examples of gold work ever produced by Fabergé. One side features a pho-tograph of Tsar Nicholas II, and the other his wife, Empress Alexandra Feodorovna. This was probably a gift from the Tsar to his mother, the Dowager Empress Maria Feodorov-na. The form was most likely inspired by a fire screen, created by George Jacob that was in her apartment.

nicholAs ii presenTATion Box

The Imperial Russian court was renowned for the lavish gifts pre-sented to foreign dignitaries visiting Russia. Fabergé made hundreds of presentation boxes, but many connoisseurs consider this his fin-est. Made of gold and decorated with enamel and diamonds, the box features the cipher of Tsar Nicholas II on the cover. The Emperor pre-sented the box to Leon Bourgeois, a French politician and statesman in 1902. Bourgeois was one of 90 foreigners to receive a snuffbox with the Emperor’s initials.

The weDDing clocK Tsar Nicholas II and the Empress

Alexandra Feodorovna jointly pur-chased this enameled clock in 1896 just weeks after they were married. One of the first furnishings they selected for their marital home, the clock has a blue enamel finish sig-nifying true love.

From an apprenticeship in gold-smithing to becoming “Goldsmith to the Imperial Crown,” Carl Fabergé led an extraordinary life creating unparalleled wonders. Learn more about the events that shaped this legendary jeweler’s life – and visit the special exhibition to see his re-markable accomplishments.
