ANTIQUES ROADSHOW
"Baltimore (Hour Three)"
ANTIQUES ROADSHOW caps its sojourn in Baltimore, Maryland, at Geppi’s Entertainment Museum, where appraiser Phil Weiss gives host Mark L. Walberg a collector’s eye view of comic strip art. At the Baltimore Convention Center, ROADSHOW draws a wide array of objects, including a rare violin made in 1798 by renowned French violinmaker Nicolas Lupot, accompanied by a bow crafted in the style of Dominique Peccatte, one of the most influential bow makers in history. Together, violin and bow make beautiful music, to the tune of $140,000 and $20,000 respectively.

AMERICAN EXPERIENCE
"The Lobotomist" 
The lobotomy was hailed by The New York Times as a “surgery of the soul” and “history making,” a groundbreaking medical procedure that promised hope to the most distressed families and desolate mentally ill patients. Championed by a young and ambitious neurologist named Walter J. Freeman, what began as an operation of last resort was soon being performed at some 50 state asylums, often with devastating results. Only a decade after his rise to fame, Freeman was decried as a moral monster and the lobotomy as one of the most barbaric mistakes of modern medicine.

AMERICAN MASTERS
"John James Audubon: Drawn From Nature"
In a dramatic, contradictory story, the man who is synonymous with the American wilderness and conservation movement emerges as the man who probably killed more birds than anyone else in history. Energetic, gifted and vain, Audubon was self- taught and self-made, the illegitimate son of a French sea captain and Haitian servant girl. From the Caribbean and the French countryside, he eventually settled in the American south at age 19 and, after failed business efforts and bankruptcy, pursued his true passion — finding, shooting and drawing birds — ultimately realizing his dream of publishing The Birds of America , the monumental collection of 435 life-size prints, now each fetching more than $100,000 at auction.
