ATTENTION - COVID-19 Announcement
In accordance with the most recent masking guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control, masks are required at the museum. Clay County, Minnesota, currently registers as a place of high community transmission, and masks have been proven to mitigate community transmission of COVID-19 — especially N95 respirators.
We also ask that visitors maintain a 6' social distance from other individuals and groups and accommodate posted gallery capacities. Our full visitor protocols can be found here.
Please stay safe and follow guidance from the CDC, Clay County Public Health, and the Minnesota Department of Health.
