    Love this store. It's one of my "must stop" places every year. The prices are not overdone and the quality is well worth it.

    Cool stuff, beach prices, well duh. Anyway, they have some really cool old fire trucks and police cars. I liked browsing the place.

    This museum is a great stop. They feature two different artists in two different galleries. One…read moredownstairs and one upstairs. It's very small but it's free. Most of the art is available for purchase and they have a price list at the front desk. Both collections we browsed were exceptional and very good choices. They rotate the artists about every 3 months so if you vacation here once a year you will see new art each visit. They have a gift shop with small items. One of my favorites were "mini-vases", all handmade and cute for about $10 each. Perfect for putting small plants in or adding some handmade decorations to your house. The outside area is stunning. Parking is very limited, probably only 10 spaces. You will drive under some live oaks to park which is very serene. They have a very quiet tea room with a view of the ocean. If I was local I would come here to work for a few hours each week. There is one sculpture on the lawn showcasing ocean plastic litter. Skip those plastic straws and drink out of the cup like a man lol. I would like to see more sculptures or statues on the lawn in the future, make the outdoor area more about art. I definitely recommend stopping here if you enjoy art. I will visit each time I'm in the area.

    What a gem! We took a family vacation in January and needed to incorporate some educational…read moreexperiences into our trip. This gallery was suggested and I'm glad we checked it out! We had a group of ten, so I reached out to the museum (as on their site it recommends doing so for groups of ten or more). We were able to schedule a group tour and art activity for $5 per person! But we also would have been free to just visit the museum on our own. The museum is housed in a beach house that was actually moved to the current location from further up the coast. It is a beautiful building with a more modern add on that houses the offices and studios. There is a gorgeous sunporch with games and puzzles that you can enjoy while there. The museum always has two digital exhibits. When we were there it was two South Carolina artists with extremely different styles. One was batik and nature scenes that were full of beautiful color. The other was more modern/abstract and used some interesting layering techniques. The museum educator gave us great information about each artist along with information about some of the museum's permanent collections and history of the museum and building. When we were done with our tour, we were able to make our own batik designs which used white wax crayons and watercolor to design whatever we wanted. It was really fun to get creative in this beautiful space! Overall this is a lovely place to visit. The museum is free but they do accept donations. You won't spend a ton of time here, but it is a great place to spend an hour or so, especially on a rainy or cold day.

    This place was super interesting, all about the inner workings of the body. Everything here is…read morereal, not replicas of anything which made it more interesting. There are a few full scale models in various positions, which explanations of the muscles and nerves it takes for those positions. Then there are body parts such as a heart, lungs, dissected head (you see the different layers), etc. It was pretty small (just 3 rooms), but if you're really interested in this stuff, take your time & read/listen to all the exhibits. When we saw we were at the end we went back and really absorbed the info!

    If you are curious as to the interior workings of the human body and want it from see it up close,…read morethis is for you. The exhibit has 5 "complete" bodies in various poses. As well as displays of individual limbs and organs. These are not fake models, they are all human subjects that have died and had their bodies preserved through a process called plastination (polymer injection) and then they are skinned and dissected to display bodily systems. We found it absolutely fascinating. It is one thing to see charts or plastic models, but to know this is the real thing made it so much more. The full bodies were in different poses so you can see the different muscles and skeletal positions needed to achieve them. There were also displays which showed a comparison of healthy vs. diseased organs. If you smoke or drink HEAVILY this may change your habits! This and other similar exhibits pop up around the country. If you get a chance, check it out.
