Students Tour the Mill City Museum to Kick Off a 5 Week Bike Trip to New Orleans to Study Industrialization Along the Mississippi
Sunday, June 15, 2014 at 2:43PMCurrently in her fourth year studying architecture at The Cooper Union in New York City, Arta Perezic and her classmate, Nick Pacula, received a grant called the Menschel Fellowship to study industrialization along the Mississippi River. This annual Fellowship culminates with a January exhibition in New York City.
They recently set off on a five week bicycle journey from Minneapolis to New Orleans to study specific sites along the river.
Could there have been a more appropriate starting point for their journey than the Mill City Museum? Here they were given a private tour and provided with local riverfront history by the Museum's Director, Laura Salveson, and Public Programs Coordinator, David Stevens.
Below, the bikes are loaded with everything they were taking on their travels. A Lewis and Clark expedition for the modern world! :)
We'll keep in touch with Arta and Nick, and hopefully get to share their presentation from the January 2015 exhibition.
