About
The building is a former First Church of Christ, Scientist, from 1912. The main floor exhibit hall’s high ceilings provide excellent acoustics, making the space exceptionally well-suited for concerts and other performances. The original organ still sits in the rotunda.
The Karpeles Manuscript Library Museum in Duluth provides our Mobile Exhibit Program to seventeen elementary, junior and high schools in Duluth, the Twin Cities area, Wisconsin and Canada through a special School Outreach Program, as well as to two local colleges and three public libraries. It also has a permanent exhibit showcasing the Duluth, MN High School Yearbooks.
