A Cabinet of Curiosities: A Look at Sioux Falls' First Museum
Tuesday May 24, 2011 from 9:00am - 5:00pm
Pettigrew Home & Museum
8th & Duluth Ave
Sioux Falls, South Dakota 57101 Get Directions
'A Look at Sioux Falls' First Museum' recreates a vignette of the museum Richard Pettigrew built in 1923, exhibiting artifacts originally displayed in his museum. Mr. Pettigrew's museum was a conglomeration of objects collected in local archaeological excavations with his brother Fred, objects collected on his travels around the world, and objects traded with other collectors and researchers worldwide. Displaying intriguing pieces such as a walrus skin kayak, prehistoric stone tools, geological specimens, historic guns, and original photos, the exhibit portrays an earlier type of museum, one that showcased objects for their uniqueness rather than as interpretative tools used for educational purposes.
