The Metal Museum opened its doors to the public in 1979. The campus now includes galleries, a blacksmith shop, the Lawler Foundry, the repairs and restoration lab, a library, sculpture gardens and a gazebo. But how did it begin? It all goes back to 1975, when an industry museum was proposed at the National Ornamental and Miscellaneous Metals Association conference in Atlanta, GA. On February 5, 1979, the dream took life on a 3.2-acre site overlooking the Mississippi River just south of downtown Memphis. In our July/August issue of O&MM Fabricator, we bring you the full story, with interviews from several of the founding partners. Plus, we share exciting news about new growth happening this summer at the Museum.
Look for your copy of O&MM Fabricator magazine mid-July.
