The Minnesota Museum of American Art’s “Here, Now” exhibition highlights building renovation and connections in a time of division…

Begun first as a project space in 2013, the M launched phase 1 of its renovation of the Pioneer Endicott building complex back in 2018.

Both the museum’s and the building’s histories go back long before that, just before the turn of the 20th century.

“Both of these buildings were really created around the same time as our organization was founded,” Beane said. “We like to show the connections between the past and the present, between historic and modern, and to show the ways in which these things can be in conversation in really beautiful ways.”
