Twin Cities Scenic Collection
Renderings and Scenic Painting from the late 19th Century Through the early Twentieth Century.
The scenery collection in the University of Minnesota's Performing Arts Archives is composed of three parts: the Twin City Scenic Company collection, the Great Western Stage Equipment Company Collection, and the Holak collection. The overall collection is the only one of its scope in the United States, and uniquely documents the technical environment of the popular stage during the late-nineteenth through early-twentieth century. Renderings and materials related to Freemason ceremonial performances are heavily represented in the Holak and Great Western collections.
