Display Your Collection at the MHS Museum
It’s time to dust off those items collected throughout the years for display in a few “pop-up” exhibits at the Montana Historical Society.
For a few hours on Saturdays this spring – March 12, April 9, and May 14 – MHS will offer space for those special collections to be shared with the community. We’re searching for everything from telephones to toys, menus to matchboxes, or bonnets to bandanas.
Each collector will be provided a six-foot table on which to display their collection (or a portion of their collections), and each collector will be asked to write a short exhibit label, explaining what makes their collection special.
Collectors will have an opportunity to set up their displays before the pop-up exhibit opens to public from 1:30 p.m. to 3 p.m.
“These days also are known as ‘Second Saturdays,’ where the Montana Historical Society waives entrance fees for visitors to the galleries,” noted Deb Mitchell, an MHS program specialist. “We look forward to seeing familiar and new faces at these events."
Apply to share your collection at https://tinyurl.com/MHSpopup or contact Deb Mitchell at dmitchell@mt.gov or 406-444-4789 for more information.
Gallery and Museum Shop hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday. For more information, go online to mhs.mt.gov
