Mythic Creatures This summer, the Frazier History Museum welcomes an exhibition that traces the roots of the world’s most enduring mythological creatures from Asia, Europe, the Americas, and beyond. “Mythic Creatures,” open now through September 15, is an eye-popping 7,500 sq. ft. exhibition produced by the American Museum of Natural History. It traces the origins of the extraordinary mythological creatures that have captivated hearts, inspired fear, and betwitched humanity for centuries. Some symbolize danger. Others, it’s believed, can bring luck or joy. You can take a virtual journey through folklore in four different environments: Creatures of the Sea, Creatures of the Land, Creatures of the Air, and Dragons. Discover the facts behind the fables as you come face-to-face with the exhibition’s “actualsize” models, including a 17’ dragon with 19’ wingspan, an over 6’ tall extinct primate, a 10’ unicorn, and a kraken whose 12’ tentacles rise out of the floor.
Artifacts include pre-historic fossils, textiles, paintings, stone carvings, wooden sculptures and other cultural objects. “Mythic Creatures” also offers plenty of interactive stations for all ages. You are invited to touch casts of a narwhal tusk, the lower jaw of a massive ape and the talon of an eagle. For thousands of years, humans everywhere have brought these creatures— dragons, unicorns, mermaids, Bigfoot, Loch Ness, and others– to life in eerily similar stories, songs, and works of art. The exhibition explains how the beasts depicted in these stories have taught morals, creativity and respective cultures’ values through storytelling. “Mythic Creatures,” is appropriate for children ages 4 and up. Admissions vary and discounts are available. See our website for further information. The museum operating hours are Monday through Saturday, 9 am to 5 pm, and Sunday noon to 5 pm.

WFPK Waterfront Wednesdays The WFPK Waterfront Wednesday concert series, held on the last Wednesday of each month, is a throwback to the time when small, close-knit communities gathered on the courthouse lawn to share in the delight of live music. Now, that lawn is replaced with Waterfront Park’s Big Four Lawn, and the small neighborhood group is supplanted by thousands of Louisvillians and visitors, but the sense of community and musical sharing is the same.
play a brand of Americana and blues that stands alone – Delta blues and hillbilly fervor combine with musical acuity sharp as razor wire. The Rev. J. Peyton, his wife Breezy, and his distant cousin Aaron “Cuz” Persinger are a living breathing embodiment of the traditions and hard work ethic native to their Brown County, IN home. They will be performing selections from their new album, Between The Ditches, which is a chronicle of this lifestyle.
The free concerts attract large audiences to mingle, dance, and enjoy the river in a family-friendly park atmosphere with a cash bar and upscale festival fare. The event draws thousands to Waterfront Park and helped Louisville secure an international award as a top city for festivals. In fact, the Southeast Tourism Society selected WFPK Waterfront Wednesday as one of their Top 20 Events, making it a draw for local citizens and tourists alike.
The concerts take place on the last Wednesday of every month through September. The dates for the rest of the 2013 season are June 26, July 24, August 27, and September 18, the third Wednesday of the month instead of the last, to avoid interfering with Yom Kippur. The Big Four Lawn “opens” at 5 pm, and the music begins promptly at 6 pm. No coolers, glass, or pets are allowed in the event area of the Big Four Lawn and the adjacent park areas. Outside alcohol is prohibited. For more information, call 502-814-6500.
