Activities in Chapel Hill

The museum doubles as a de facto shrine to alum Michael Jordan (old jerseys included).

Come November, tickets that haven’t been snapped up by students are available to the public.

In season (if you’ve bought tickets far in advance), catch the Tar Heels playing basketball at the University of North Carolina.

Take part in hands-on science exhibits or catch a space show where the first NASA astronauts trained.

The gallery is owned by Elizabeth Edwards, wife of former senator John Edwards.
