Schiele Museum To Sponsor Rafting
Trip And King Tut Exhibition
'Hie Schiele Museum is
^KUisoiing a Whitewater
rafting trip on the
Nantahala River Aug. 18,
according to Robert Bell,
museum representative.
“The Nantahala is a
good family rafting river,"
Bell said, “not terrifically
violent. For this reason it
is the most heavily used
river in the state.”
The Schiele’s expedition
is open to all Interested
persons, including 12-year
olds accompanied by an
adult. But, Bell warns, all
participants must be in
good health.
“Each person should
bring a complete change of
clothing and a hefty box
lunch,” Bell said.
“Transportation is not
being provided. All par
ticipants are asked to be at
the Nantahala Outdoor
Center by 11:80 a.m. for
check-in procedures.
Those who wish to carpool,
or caravan, should be at
Schiele Museum around 6
a.m. We will move out at
6:80 a.m. promptly.”
The Schiele Museum of
Natural History will
feature “Tut And More,”
through Aug. 81, according
to Alan Stout, director.
The exhibit consists of an
actual Egyptian mummy
in its painted sarcophagus,
replicas of the famous
treasures of King Tut and
various small artifacts,
including Shabltl figures -
miniatures placed In the
tomb to serve the deceased
in the land of the dead.
"The Schiele’s staff
artist, Chip Holton, has
fashioned a tomb which is
as much a part of the
display as the artifacts
themselves,” Stout said.
'"This includes paintings
and carvings of Egyptian
hieroglyphics and dleties,
its entrance is a
reproduction of an actual
Egyptian tomb.”
Bell said the rafting trip
will take place rain or
shine and suggests rafters
wear comfortable clothing
Miitable for being doused -
shorts, bathing suit and,
preferrably, sneakers.
The cost is llB per person
and this Includes shuttle to
launch point, lifejacket,
guides, raft and in
struction. All reservations
must be fully paid by Aug.
7. ’There will be a pre-trip
