Featuring
over 50 bottles
in one, unique collection
|
Rare message in a bottle memorabilia, filled with raw, human emotion, found along the Mississippi River and other U.S. rivers by 2013 CNN Hero of the Year, Chad Pregracke, the Living Lands & Waters crew and the many volunteers over 20 years of clean-ups.
In this unique collection, no single artist is featured, but the personal voices of everyday Americans are on display. Throughout history, the Message in a Bottle phenomenon makes many appearances: Greek water current studies, Japanese epics, Poe, Dickens, and rock band, The Police. This exhibit continues the tradition, capturing the zeitgeist of the Message in a Bottle through American eyes. |
