Schiele Museum

The Schiele Museum offers a chance for people to see the region's rocks and minerals, hills and rivers, plants and animals. Families can meet Smoky Bear, travel to prehistoric campsites, paint a fish and see what it might be like to walk through the NASA International Space Station.

The 6NEWS Road Trip will be at the Schiele Museum Nov. 15 for a sneak peek at their new exhibit Winter in the Piedmont. Meet rainforest animals and learn how holiday ornaments are made.

The museum is open Monday – Saturday from 9-5 and Sunday from 1-5. Admission is $4 for adults and $2 for seniors and students.
