Project Overview

The portraits of Minnesota's governors grace the halls of the Minnesota State Capitol and provide an important legacy of the state's past and present leaders.

With funding from the ACHF, 20 portraits were cleaned and are now more secure with the addition of high-quality non-glare/UV filtering plexiglass. Using the original framing, each portrait was retrofitted to accommodate the new plexiglass.
