Ellington Exhibit Opens at Museum

“Beyond Category: The Musical Genius of Duke Ellington” features a 5,000-square-foot exhibit of recorded music, photos, films, videos, interactive displays and manuscripts from the man many consider one of the country’s greatest composers.
On loan from the National Museum of American History, the exhibit is a joint project of the Smithsonian Institute and the Lila Wallace-Reader’s Digest Fund. It closes March 12.
Hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday. The museum is at 600 State Drive. Disabled access is available.
