SUMMARY:POSTPONED: Hall of Geology Renovation Opening
DESCRIPTION:IMPORTANT: Due to installation delays\, this event has been postponed to Friday\, May 22. We apologize for any confusion and/or inconvenience\, and we look forward to seeing you at the later date! \nHere is a link to the new date’s event listing: NEW DATE: Hall of Geology Exhibit Renovation Opening \n\nHey\, Iron Rangers… our Hall of Geology is getting a much-needed update! \n🗓️ Date: Friday\, April 10 ❗NEW DATE: Friday\, May 22❗\n⏰ Time: 5:00pm-8:00pm\n📍 Location: MDC’s Taconite Square & Hall of Geology\n💵 Cost: FREE \nCome celebrate the official unveiling of the newly renovated Hall of Geology! The completely overhauled permanent exhibit features Iron Range geology (rocks and minerals) and paleontology (fossils). This renovation has been years in the making\, and we’re so excited to share the results with you—and because of that\, we’re waiving admission! This event is FREE for everyone. Plus\, complimentary appetizers and a cash bar\, will be available. \nWhat’s changed? A lot. Many scientific advancements have been made since the exhibit was originally created in 1979. These findings have been incorporated into the renovations\, plus the content has become more focused\, tailored specifically to Iron Range rather than Minnesota in general. As for specifics… you’ll have to come see for yourself! \nOur partnerships with BrownKnows Design and Šek Design Studio have been key to making this happen. So\, we want to make the official unveiling not just about the new content in the Hall of Geology\, but also the effort and partnership that went into the renovation. Along with our museum staff\, Jeff Brown from BrownKnows Design will be here to share insight into the design/engineering process and answer questions. \nThis renovation was made possible through a grant supplied by the Minnesota Historical Society. MHS is a wonderful long-term supporter of not only MDC but museums and nonprofits across the state. Thank you\, MHS! \nThe Evening’s Schedule:  \n🍸 5:00pm: Social hour\n👩🏻‍🏫 6:00pm: Opening remarks\n💎 6:15pm: Official unveiling\n🔍 6:30pm: Exhibit exploration\n👋🏽 8:00pm: Event ends\, doors close \nBy the way… for a museum\, this is a seismic (pun intended) event. From brainstorming and researching\, to fabrication and installation\, permanent exhibit renovations take a lot of time and money to complete. So\, it’s a big deal. One of great magnitude\, you could say. We’re feeling a bit sendimental about it\, so it would be gneiss to have you here with us for the unveiling.
