Partners: The Two Mecklenburgs

May 14, 2011 to December 31, 2011

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg area shares a unique bond with Mecklenburg, Germany. Not only connected by name and the woman known as Charlotte, Princess of Mecklenburg-Strelitz and Queen of Great Britain; we share a 1994 partnership agreement with our sister-city. Commemorating the 250th anniversary of the coronation of our namesake Charlotte, it's time to meet the other Mecklenburg.

In this unique and fascinating photography exhibit, you'll learn more about our German counterpart - its landscapes, seaside resorts, modern architecture, thatched rood farmhouses, castles, cathedrals, and the people who live, work, and celebrate there. As the photographers and artists show, much has been invested to preserve and maintain the sprawling natural beauty, quaint villages, architectural influences and cultural arts, while also renovating the vibrant city across the sea that shares our name.
