The Highlands Art League’s Museum of the Arts, located in Downtown Sebring, hosted a traveling Smithsonian Institution exhibit that opened Dec. 8, and continued until last week. The exhibit was free for the public to attend and more than 1,000 people experienced it while it was in town.

The Florida Humanities Council, in partnership with the Smithsonian Institute, is sponsoring the six-city Florida tour of “Journey Stories” — an exhibit that uses images, audio and artifacts to illustrate the critical roles that traveling and movement have played in building our diverse American society.
