Opening Reception: David Thompson on the Columbia

The Wenatchee Valley Museum participates in downtown Wenatchee's First Friday gallery events by extending museum hours till 8 p.m. and hosting a reception for at least one of our current exhibits. On Friday, May 6, we open a new exhibit in the Main Gallery, "David Thompson on the Columbia River" , featuring large maps, photographs of Native Americans and the river before hydro dams, objects related to the fur trade, sketches, sculpture, and informative text. Refreshments will be served and admission is free throughout the day and evening. The exhibit is supported by the Washington State Arts Commission and community donors.
