The Bell Museum is in the process of getting a new building and moving, and is scheduled to open early in the summer of 2018 — it’s a fine museum that will be even better.
The new $64 milllion Bell Museum slated to open in the early summer of 2018 is under construction on the University of Minnesota’s St. Paul campus, Thursday, March 30, 2017. The building will feature products sourced sustainably in Minnesota, including white pine from Cass Lake; granite from Morton; Iron Range steel, and bird-safe glass from Owatonna

One thing of note is that the new building will be very modern, with lots of glass, and look! A natural history museum, unlike our local football stadium, actually cares about animals in the region and will have bird-safe glass windows!
See, Minnesota Vikings? It’s not that hard to respect your community.
Sustainable, local, free-range granite and steel.
Is granite organic?
Is granite organic?
Well no but it is not battery-raised. I suppose it is sustainable but replacement rates probably are in the millions of year. IAMAGeologist.
Oh my glob, all that money that’s been diverted from sports stadiums. How ever will the poor, obscenely rich football leagues survive.
Also evilution… leading kids from Glob… liberal values… identity politics… etc.
Are there carbon-rich igneous rocks?
