Details
Commemorate our nation’s 250th anniversary with the Great Minnesota Show-and-Tell, a day-long event where the public showcases objects that connect us to the American story. This one-day “people’s exhibit” will tell the story of how Minnesotans have been part of our nation’s history. This is a true show-and-tell, with participants bringing personal objects from home to share with museum visitors.
To make this possible, we need you! We’re looking for a wide range of show-and-tell objects that show how Minnesotans have been part of the American story. These could include family heirlooms, service medals, memorabilia of civic engagement, historic documents, personal keepsakes of important historical moments, and more. This is your opportunity to share with museum visitors what makes your history American history.
