Until last Friday night I had never given a thought to what might be in the old Grand Rapids Public Museum. In 1995, the Museum moved into its current location on the banks of the Grand River. And it turns out that in the 15 years since the move, not a lot has changed with the old space.
Grand Rapids area college students and faculty decided to take on the old Museum and what they've turned it into is nothing short of amazing. Michigan - Land of Riches seeks to re-examine the old Grand Rapids Public Museum and in doing so has turned it into an art museum. Working along side the materials that were left in old Museum for over a past decade, what was unveiled on April 16 is a display of history, creativity and imagination that will only be on display for one month. "Michigan - Land of Riches" runs until May 15 and is not to be missed.
