Discover the "Fauxtographic" World of Familiar Faces this October at Behringer-Crawford Museum
Behringer-Crawford Museum is proud to be a participating venue in the 2024 FotoFocus Biennial: backstories, featuring the reflective exhibition Familiar Faces by local artist Mark Schlachter. The exhibit will be on display throughout October, with an opening reception with live music and refreshments on Sunday, Sep. 29, from 2-4 p.m.
Familiar Faces is a unique "fauxtodocumentary" project that unveils the hidden stories of a fictional community, Ersatz, Indiana's 93rd county, nestled somewhere between the imaginary realms of El Dorado and Brigadoon, Indiana. The photographs artfully combine humor and introspection with an extraordinary cast of characters who reside in this faux county.
The Road to the Bengals
Journey through a Century of Football Memorabilia at Behringer-Crawford Museum
Football fans, history buffs and proud locals alike are invited to explore‘The Road to the Bengals’, a unique exhibit at Behringer-Crawford Museum (BCM), celebrating the Cincinnati Bengals' storied past alongside Northern Kentucky’s rich football history.
Located on BCM’s “Roads” level, this exhibit takes visitors on a journey through time, offering an in-depth look at the evolution of the Bengals franchise and the football icons who paved the way, including the legacy of earlier professional football teams in Cincinnati before the modern Bengals were established in 1968.
Dia de los Muertos at BCM
Sunday, Oct. 13, 2-4 p.m.
Join us for an unforgettable Day of the Dead celebration at Behringer-Crawford Museum on Sunday, October 13, from 2-4 p.m. This vibrant, free event invites families and guests of all ages to immerse themselves in the rich traditions of Día de los Muertos, as celebrated in Mexico, Guatemala, and throughout Latino cultures.
Day of the Dead beautifully combines the ancient Aztec custom of celebrating ancestors with All Souls' Day, a holiday introduced by Spanish invaders in the early 1500s. It serves as a family reunion of sorts, welcoming back the souls of our deceased relatives for a joyful gathering filled with food, drink, and heartfelt celebration. The intent is to create an inviting atmosphere for the souls to hear the prayers and words of love from the living.
