As a salute to Americana the Frazier International History Museum presents Norman Rockwell's Home for the Holidays, on loan from the Norman Rockwell Museum. This exhibition, featuring 40 original Saturday Evening Post magazine covers, includes many of Norman Rockwell's most memorable and enduring holiday images. This exhibit is free with gallery admission. During his 47-year affiliation with The Saturday Evening Post, Norman Rockwell (1894–1978) was celebrated for his special holiday cover illustrations, which were commissioned to mark a full spectrum of annual events, from Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day to Valentine's Day and April Fool's Day. This exhibition, featuring original Post cover tear sheets, includes many of Rockwell's most memorable and enduring holiday images. |

The Frazier Historical Arms Museum wants to expose Louisville to panto, a theater form that has rarely been presented in the United States. A staple of the British holiday season since the middle ages, traditional panto encourages audience participation, uses slapstick humor, mixes gender roles and sprinkles the dialogue with local references. |

Swords clashing, the two men in Elizabethan costume closed in until they stood glaring, chest to chest, for a heartbeat. The older man dealt the other a crushing blow to the kidney with his buckler and the fencers spun apart. They circled intently, rapiers at the ready. |

LOUISVILLE, Ky.--When visitors walk into the new Frazier Historical Arms Museum, the first thing they see is an 1880s Gatling gun. But if they think this is merely another gun museum, they soon learn otherwise. For after touring the three floors of gallery space, visitors not only have a clear understanding of the evolution of armaments but of the historical events in which they were used. And that's what sets this museum--which opened May 22--apart. |

| 5/21/2004 | World-class collections combine in a human story
It is, in a way, a tale of two shirts. Around 1874, an unknown American Indian scout in the service of the U.S. Army in the Indian Wars decorated his standard-issue Army jacket with beautiful beadwork - creating a magical merger of important Indian symbols, including bison, dragonflies and deer, with the graphic sergeant's stripes. |
| 5/21/2004 | The man and his collection
A Kentucky long rifle started it all. Owsley Brown Frazier grew up in Louisville but spent summers at his grandfather's Canadian camp. A boyhood in the woods formed the kind of memories that made his grandfather's gift of the family's Kentucky long rifle especially precious. |
