The Minnesota Historical Society Traveling Exhibits Program provides an opportunity to visit your place in history without leaving town.

Exhibits developed by MNHS and partnering organizations feature freestanding displays, audiovisual and interactive components, and educational resources. These exhibits are available to cultural institutions such as county historical societies, tribal organizations, libraries, and others within Minnesota which serve the public good.

Please click on the images below to learn more about each exhibit.
