Exhibition: Treasure Trove

Treasure Trove, is inspired by the Museum’s Everyday Treasures exhibit, which celebrates the Museum’s 50th anniversary and highlights unique and meaningful artifacts donated during the first decade of the Museum’s collecting. Each artifact provides a glimpse into the lives of Missoulians, illustrating the story of early Montanans and how they engaged with their families, friends, environment and community.
 Participating artists selected artifacts from the Everyday Treasures gallery and reimagined them through their own artistic medium and expertise. Each piece of art interprets the Museum’s objects in new ways, bridging the past and present while honoring the stories that make these everyday items special. Museum members and staff will select award winners for designations like Best of Show and HiSTORY Hero, while the public will have an opportunity to vote for the People's Choice award.
