DUBLIN, Ga. — Black History Month ends next week, but you can still see historical figures and legendary icons come to life at one school in Dublin.
The Irish Gifted Academy is perfecting the final touches of its "living museum," Principal Matt Taylor called it.
The Night at the Museum event is happening Tuesday, February 27, at the Dublin High School auditorium and is free to attend.

Misha Jaeger is an eighth grader in the drama class performing the skit.
"Because we're in the drama class," he said, "we decided to do a play, and I think that's a really good thing to do to show what happened in history, and then to bring light to that."
Light and life are sparking the imagination of their brilliant minds.
"The person that I'm acting out, I never knew who she was until we started doing this play," Evelyn Stubbs, eighth grade, said. "Lots of people in the play, I never knew about until now."
The students at IGA are creative, clever and crafty.
Eleven-year-old Suri Cohes, in sixth grade, said she was done with her project.
Along with her sixth-grade classmates, Cohes explained how they were putting together a gallery wall for the art displays at the museum.
"It's kinda like a science fair," she said. "The report is just so you can have a better explaining about a person's life, and then the poster is kinda like, if you don't understand the report, then it's kinda like the creativity."
Elise Reed added, "It's gonna be going to the auditorium for our Black History Month museum, and our posters are gonna be hanging up on the wall."
The gifted students attending Dublin City Schools get to grow through the program.
Currently, applications are open for interested kindergarten through eighth-grade students in the district. You can apply to the program until March 15.
This month, they're bringing legends back to life in an entertaining and educational way.
