The Longmont Museum reopens on Saturday, Oct. 17, after an expansion the city puts at nearly $10 million, with 70% more gallery space. Before the new rooms open, here is a look back. This City of Longmont video goes behind the scenes of an earlier exhibition at the museum, “A Graphic Journey: Prints by Pablo Picasso.” It is not about the expansion, but it shows the kind of show the museum has been bringing to town.
