The community was invited to attend Imagine the Possibilities,  a public planning session to help design the new exhibit area in the former MarqTran building which the Museum is hoping to acquire this spring.   The session was held March 9th at UpFront & Co in Marquette.   A three dimensional model and blueprints of the new building were on display to inspire participants.   Tiina Harris facilitated the event, giving an opening presentation and also collecting ideas from each of the discussion groups.  Many great ideas came from the session.  Some of the topics discussed were interactive displays, cultural heritage, Lake Superior, Native American culture and what it means to be a Yooper. 

 

The next phase will be taking the ideas to the exhibits design team to develop drawings and models.  Another public forum will then be held in the fall to further discuss the ideas/designs.

 

Thank you to UpFront & Co. for complimentary use of their banquet room, and also for their excellent service!  Thank you to all who participated!
