Learn about local hidden treasures as the beloved TV series “Antiques Roadshow” airs its Raleigh episodes on PBS NC on Monday nights this April.
The “Antiques Roadshow” team — including Asheville’s Andrew Brunk along with Lelia Dunbar, Kevin Zavian, Peter Shaw and Travis Landry — came to Raleigh’s NC Museum of Art last May.
Nearly 3,500 attendees flooded the museum with family artifacts and collectibles to be appraised. Journalists from The News & Observer were on-site to witness the excitement and production firsthand.
“There’s not a single artifact that doesn’t have a story,” Deborah Holt Noel, an executive producer at PBS NC, said in a press release.
“Whether it’s a deck of cards or an old piece of jewelry, a picture or a vintage Tru-Vue viewfinder, which belonged to my father, it’s not always the dollar value that people treasure most. It’s the story that’s like a window into who you are.”
Look out for these special items in Raleigh’s “Antique Roadshow” episodes:
Vintage Barbie and Ken dolls
A 1939 autographed Baseball Hall of Fame program
A 1962 Amazing Fantasy comic introducing Spider-Man
