Snaps from a sunny day

It's always been a joy to share the fact that this building underwent construction just a few months after the Titanic sank - pictured is the copper capsule retrieved from beneath the cornerstone, alongside one of our Titanic manuscripts.

We'll have our Titanic Days special cases up from today until the end of April!

Stay tuned for details on an extended hours evening next Saturday, the 25th.

Good morning! The light in here is beautiful today - it is wonderful to have a little sun shining on our new exhibits. They just don't seem to come alive during snowstorms.

Exhibit illustrations have begun to go up, and as before, all cases have a virtual tour QR code to scan if you wish.

Aaron Reichow's HG25 photography gallery is up, as well!

Happy rotation day! Our Q2 exhibit is on transportation - from the history of the hot air balloon to more complicated flight; from steamboats to submarines, join us in a look at the ingenuity of how we move.

Like much of the city - including ISD709 if you haven't heard yet - we will be closed tomorrow due to some truly brutal weather.

Stay safe and stay warm.
