Financial Crisis Victim, Minnesota Museum of American Art, Still Sees a Comeback in Their Future

Remember back in those gloomy days back in late November of 2008 when it seemed like the world’s finances were on the verge of crumbling. Turns out, they did, and they took with them organizations like the very early and perhaps first major casualty, the Minnesota Museum of American Art. That late-fall, the museum announced that, despite a series of cost-saving and cutting moves, it had no choice but to close. While at the time they said it would only be a temporary move, in the two years since, we’ve seen a lot of “temporary” become “forever” more often than not.
