Description

The $9 million expansion added new construction to the museum's historic buildings and introduced reimagined permanent exhibits on Park City's transformation from a boom-and-bust silver mining town to a ski resort destination. A signature element is a re-created "mine wall" running the full three-story height of the museum, revealing a mining landscape of tunnels and equipment.
