”PORTRAITS OF THE LOWCOUNTRY: CASED IMAGES FROM THE ARCHIVES”

History comes alive at this exhibit featuring a selection of portraits of individuals and families. Spanning decades in the 19th century, this display includes daguerreotypes, the oldest form of photography accessible by the public, as well as its immediate successors, ambrotypes and tintypes. These portraits, taken as a direct positive, first on glass and later on metal sheets, are an enduring portal into the past, allowing viewers to witness the people of Charleston as they truly existed. The Charleston Museum, 360 Meeting St.; Monday-Saturday 9am-5pm; Sunday noon-5pm; $12 adult; $10 youth 13-17; $5 child 3-12; (843)722-2996, www.charlestonmuseum.org
