This year marks the 800th anniversary of Magna Carta, and events are being held across the world to celebrate and commemorate this manuscript that helped shape our common ideals of freedom, liberty, and the rule of law. With your support, the Minnesota Judicial Branch has partnered with a broad coalition of legal and civic organizations to bring a special exhibit titled “Magna Carta: Enduring Legacy” to Minnesota. The exhibit, which was developed by the American Bar Association and the Law Library of Congress, shares images of objects from Library of Congress collections that illustrate Magna Carta’s influence throughout the centuries and explain the document’s long history.
On Thursday, September 17 – Constitution Day – the public event at the Minnesota History Center will showcase this traveling exhibit, which will be displayed alongside several historic artifacts related to Minnesota’s Constitution from the collection of the Minnesota Historical Society.
While the event is free and open to the public, due to space constraints at the Minnesota History Center we do ask that you register for tickets via this link.
