Is there anything more romantic than daybreak or the transition into nightfall? Micro Museum thinks not. This Milky Way romance begins at the Orion Arm roughly 93 million miles away, with light traveling at 300 million meters per second, it takes only eight minutes for the rays to get from the Sun to the Earth. Micro Museum at 123 Smith Street offers the public seven hours every Saturday to see Metaphoric Sunrise/Sunset plus Liquid Cities - Video Art & Architecture - rain or shine ($2). Opening party on November 22 from 8 – 11 PM with live music with David Goldman at 9 PM ($10 per person with 2 free drinks and gifts)

Metaphoric Sunrise/Sunset artists at the center of this parallel universe are Pauline Yun, Patricia E. Thompson, Bill Hamilton, Aviv Orly, Anthony Conrad, Giang Nguyen, Melissa McClain, Ruth Ava Lyons, Melinda Steffy, Debra Friedkin, Sylvie Muller.
