Museum & Arts Center sets closure
The Museum & Arts Center will be closed until Jan. 14 while a new exhibit is being built inside the facility.
Museum director Judi Stipe said that the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe is funding the construction of a new “longhouse” style display similar to the one in the old MAC building, but with significantly more square footage for the exhibit than they used to have.
“This exhibit will be about the past, present and future of the tribe,” Stipe said. “They’ve been so important to this area, we wanted to make sure they had the space they deserved for this display.”
The space will include log frame construction, which is being hand cut and fitted by the construction crew on-site. The MAC will re-open on Jan. 14, with a formal grand opening for the exhibit coming in February.
