Exhibits To Go!

banner

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.

Visit the Applications guidelines and instructions page to review hosting guidelines and download the application form.

MNHS is taking applications for 2026 dates. Please note there are a few changes from how the program previously operated:

  • Borrowers are responsible for picking up and returning the exhibit to the MNHS warehouse in St. Paul, MN
  • The lending period is 4 months (May-August, September-December, January-April)
  • Marketing materials are provided only in digital format

Availability as of July 2026

  • Coming Of Age September-December 2026 and January-April 2027
  • Electrifying Minnesota May-August 2026, September-December 2026 and January-April 2027
  • Fur Trade in Minnesota  May-August 2026, September-December 2026 and January-April 2027
