About Kites!
at Cedarhurst
August 7 – October 17
Kites have enjoyed a longer continual history than any other toy except
dolls, yet kites have also been instrumental in advancing
bridge-building technology, aeronautical research and military
strategies.
The Drachen Foundation’s exhibition About Kites, produced by the
Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service captures the
fascination and diversity of kites with vivid illustrations and
information.
Exhibition cosponsored by DataLock and Toni Federici, Inc.
