There’s so much to see and do including: Reframing Our Stories, a photography exhibit that highlights resilience and strength of Minnesota’s Native communities through stories reframed by their own words, experiences, and perspectives.

In the Weather Permitting exhibit you can explore Minnesota weather as it takes you through all the seasons and their extremes, including the experience of riding out the 1965 Fridley tornado in a basement.
