Brian Horrigan (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 15, 1996 | Series: Mn Historic Site Pamphlets

The Minnesota History Center in St. Paul -- headquarters of the Minnesota Historical Society -- is an extraordinary example of public support for preserving and learning about the past. The largest public support for preserving and learning about the past. The largest public building constructed in Minnesota since the 1905 State Capitol, it houses vast collections, innovating exhibits, and exciting programmes that connect people together with people in the past. This souvenir booklet takes you on a visual tour of the History Center and tells you a bit about the Society, an institution older that the state itself. Here you will view the center's stunning public spaces and discover dramatic artworks commissioned for the building. You will also go behind-the-scenes to visit the History Center's conservation labs and huge underground storage areas rarely open to the public
