The Joy of Toys - What does a Ferris wheel, a record player and a Barbie have in common? They are all part of the new mini-exhibit at the High Point Museum.  This exhibit, located in the Museum lobby, features some items that have never been on display and includes objects dating back to the early 20^th century. This exhibit will be on display until mid-March.

Meredith's Miniatures -
The rooms in this exhibit were created by Meredith Slane Michener, a High Point native, between 1990 and 2005. They represent the bulk of her collection, which totals 35 rooms. Many of the items found in the rooms were created by her. Many were purchased from other artisans and many were “found.” Miniatures are always built to precise scale and these are completed in 1:12. This is one of the largest collections of miniature rooms in the country.

Our exhibit, High Point’s Furniture Heritage, examines the history of the relationship between the furniture industry and the people of High Point. The exhibit offers a unique perspective on the history of furniture manufacturing in our area. It includes interactive elements, video, photographs, memorabilia, machinery and furniture.

The exhibit focuses attention on the furniture industry as a key element of the city’s growth and prosperity. This exhibit, funded in part by a grant from the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services, documents this important industry in North Carolina.
