Part of the White Night event in Brighton - this was a wonderful way of bringing paintings to life: the girl stood motionless for several minutes, then turned, danced and spun around gracefully before settling down to her pose again. She was dressed exactly like the girl in the painting. Many other paintings in the museum were brought to life in the same way.

Street showing some of the many hoses at Strawbery Banke. " Strawbery Banke is unique among outdoor history museums in presenting a authentic neighborhood, with most of the 42 historic buildings on their original foundations. These structures, the earliest dating to 1695, provide our strongest link to the lives of the people who lived in this neighborhood. Some of the houses have been restored and furnished to particular periods in the past; some are used for exhibits on such special themes as architecture or archaeology; still others serve as shops for artisans practicing traditional trades. This variety of uses enables Strawbery Banke to provide a rich opportunity for the exploration of the past." www.strawberybanke.org/exhibits/historic-buildings.html
