There are many educational, cultural, and entertainment
opportunities in the Birmingham area.  For example, the Haitian 
voodoo flag depicted above was recently on display at the Birmingham 
Museum of Art.  One of the best Shakespeare Festivals in the USA 
takes place just an hour's drive from Birmingham.  So just below the 
Great Seal of Alabama you will find some links to let you know what's 
available in the way of culture and entertainment around Birmingham 
and Alabama in general.
