Museum to display 19th century\nchildren's clothing\nThe Wylie House Museum, 307 E. Second St., is currently displaying children's clothing and toys from the 19th century. \nOn loan from the Elizabeth Sage Historic Costume Collection, the items will be on display for the rest of the summer. The exhibit is open during normal museum hours -- 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday through Saturdays -- and is free and open to the public. For more information visit http://indiana.edu/~libwylie.

'Foreigner' playing in Brown County\n"The Foreigner," Larry Shue's comedy about mistaken identity, continues at the Brown County Playhouse with performances at 8 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday. \nWhen Froggy introduces his painfully shy friend Charlie as a foreigner who doesn't understand English, characters reveal their deepest secrets in Charlie's presence because they think he can't understand them. Calamity and chaos follow with twists and subplots. For more information about tickets and showtimes visit www.indiana.edu/~thtr/bcplay.html.

Special exhibits displayed at IU Art Museum \nPuppets representing animals, people and spirits are currently on display at the IU Art Museum's Focalpoint Gallery. The puppets, linked to youth associations in Mali, West Africa, relate to well-known stories that honor or satirize real and mythological people. \nSpecial to the museum this month are three monumental still-life paintings from the 1970s and '80s by Chilean artist Claudio Bravo, Icelandic painter Louisa Matthiasdottir and American artist Janet Fish. All of the paintings are part of IU's permanent collection but have not been on display for several years. \nVisitors to the museum's free Jazz in July series Friday will have the opportunity to see the "Improvisation and Rhythm in African Textiles" exhibit from 5 to 8 p.m. in the Special Exhibitions Hexagon Gallery. The exhibit is only open during jazz performances and explores the connections between African textiles and music. For more information about IU Art Museum events, visit www.indiana.edu/~iuam.
