Attention music lovers, have we got a treat for you. “Play It Loud: Concerts at Barton Coliseum” is filled with music memories from concerts of the past and you can see it Tuesdays to Saturdays, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Sundays 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. It’s amazing to see the big names who graced the state at this historic venue. It’s even more amazing to listen to guests who share their tales with us, their kids, their friends or even just other guests. It seems like music just bonds people. We continue our exhibit, “Down the Rabbit Hole: Adventures in eMuseum.” It’s an eclectic mix of items from our collection including our recent 2nd Friday Art Night performer Erin Enderlin’s guitar on which she wrote Alan Jackson’s “Monday Morning Church.” If you see the guitar, you may wonder why it’s in two pieces. Interesting story, one of Erin’s friends accidentally ran over it. The popular permanent exhibit featuring inaugural gowns and other artifacts from Arkansas’s first ladies is a highlight of any trip to the museum. Be sure to check out "First Ladies of Arkansas: Women of their Times" when you stop by the museum this summer.
