Art and history will come together tonight at an open house at the Clausen Museum in Petersburg. It’s actually a coordinated event between the museum and the Miele Gallery downtown from 5 to 7 p.m. The gallery will be featuring Kodiak painter, Bruce Nelson.

The museum will be featuring recent changes with its exhibits. Kathi Riemer has only been the museum’s director for a few months now but already the museum looks a bit different.

She showed KFSK’s Angela Denning some of the items she’s pulled out of storage, starting in the back room of the museum.
