Was scrolling through a depressing account of recent violent events that occurred in my fair city. At the bottom of it I found some unexpected good news.
Children’s Museum uses grant for exhibit
“The Minnesota Children’s Museum has received a $865,000 grant to develop with the Children’s Museum of Seattle a touring exhibit to be called ‘A Walk in Japan: Exploring Japanese Culture Through Art and Anime’.
The exhibit is to be built in St. Paul but will open in Seattle in 2004 and be in Minnesota in late 2005. It will feature anime, a type of animation rooted in Japanese culture and tradition for thousands of years.
The grant was made to the two museums by the Vermont-based Freeman Foundation, which was founded in 1992.”
So it will be some time before the exhibit opens locally. But by then Parker should be old enough to properly appreciate it.
