Oh my…this is unbelievable…I’ll sure do all I can…
This is destruction of unique art…the whole package I mean…philistines in charge of treasures. They know not what they have.

Subject: Re: [SCIART] Saving the Bell Museum
As I understand it (through Stephen Quinn) there is discussion of "saving" the dioramas, but this would likely mean a salvaging of some and the dismantling of others. The unique building designed to house the dioramas would lose its very reason for being. Please see his open letter for details.
Thank you,

I wonder if they are able and/or have plans to move the dioramas? The ecology, entomology, forestry and agricultural science departments are now all consolidated on the St. Paul campus and I'm sure the Bell is not getting as much usage from those groups of faculty and students as it used to. On the other hand, the art department is still in Minneapolis ....

Dear SciArt,
I would like to pass along an important alert concerning the unknown future of a nature art treasure in Minneapolis, a unique building designed to house great natural history dioramas. I implore the community to follow Stephen Quinn's lead in preserving this threatened facility.
