Description:

Designed and curated by Rural Aesthetic Initiative (a collaboration by Andrew Nordin and Lisa Bergh), The Traveling Museum functions as a mobile project space for public art. Pop up gallery exhibitions, didactic art activities, happenings, individual artist projects, and mobile art residencies are all feasible within the Museum?s efficient fish house inspired architecture. We bring contemporary art places it never gets to go. The Traveling Museum was built to be recognizable as an art object in itself, with a design that eludes to the Bauhaus, Minnesota ice shanties, and grain storage bins or other farm architecture. The aesthetic and conceptual appeal is activated by Public Art events located inside and around the Museum. It is always changing, with exciting unusual locations adding to the interaction.
