RENO, Nev. >> The City of Dust exhibit is on display at the Nevada Museum of Arts in Reno. <\/p>\n
The Reno Gazette-Journal reports the exhibit, which traces the more than three-decade evolution of Burning Man, opened to the public Saturday. <\/p>\n
Burning Man is an annual event that started as a bohemian beach gathering in San Francisco in 1986 and has morphed into a modern-day pop-up city in Nevadas Black Rock Desert. <\/p>\n
More than 68,000 people flock to the desert each year to form a temporary metropolis dedicated to community, art, music, self-expression and self-reliance. <\/p>\n
The 300-piece collection of Burning Man relics will remain open until Jan. 7. <\/p>\n
After the exhibition in Reno, it will travel to the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C., in spring 2018. <\/p>\n
This years Burning Man gathering is scheduled for Aug. 27 to Sept. 4. <\/p>\n
Genoa creates special airport waiver for famed pesto sauce <\/p>\n
ROME >> The Italian port city of Genoa has taken pride in its famed pesto sauce to new heights by granting special airport waivers for those who cant get enough of the basil and pine nut pasta sauce. <\/p>\n
Genoas airport is letting travelers take as much as 500 grams of pesto (about 2 cups) in their carry-on luggage, exempting them from the 100-milliliter rule (about 6 tablespoons) for liquids in carry-on baggage. The catch: Passengers must make a donation of 50 cents or more to a charity that airlifts sick children to hospitals. <\/p>\n
The airport said in a statement this week that some 500 euros (about $558) had been raised in the first 20 days of the initiative, which was inspired by the anguish of having to confiscate so many jars of pesto from foodies trying to get them through security. <\/p>\n
