New photography exhibit at The Charleston Museum
April 3, 2019
The Charleston Museum announced the opening of In the Company of Animals: Pets of Charleston, in the Lowcountry Image Gallery from April 8 through December 31, 2019. This exhibition, comprised of 18 black-and-white photographs, will chronicle the relationship Charlestonians have had with their pets since the late 1800s.
Animals have always been part of a human’s everyday life, whether worshiped, hunted for food or used as a means of transportation or labor. Over the years, this relationship has evolved into one of companionship. Highlighting photographers such as Morton B. Paine, Franklin Frost Sams, and Chansonetta Stanley Emmons, this photographic exhibition will put on view how Charlestonians spent their time in the company of animals.
In the Company of Animals: Pets of Charleston will be open at The Charleston Museum April 8 through December 2019. This exhibit is free for Museum members and free with admission to The Charleston Museum.
