The Museum of North Idaho in Coeur d'Alene opens for the season Tuesday.
This season's feature exhibit, "Collecting, A Closer Look," gives insight into how museums and individuals collect. It examines how the Museum of North Idaho uses its collections to tell stories and preserve history for future generations. Several collectors have loaned samplings from their private collections.
"As the central repository for this region's history the Museum of North Idaho is not only a place to discover the rich history of the Coeur d'Alene region but to understand what makes our community unique," said Dorothy Dahlgren, director.
Admission is $3 for adults, $1 for children 6-16, 6 and younger is free, and a family rate of $7 for two adults and children 16 or younger. Members are admitted free.
The museum is in front of Coeur d'Alene City Park at 115 Northwest Blvd. Museum hours are Tuesday through Saturday 11-5 through Oct. 31.
