PBS’
Antiques Roadshow filmed three hour-long episodes in Minneapolis last July, which premiered on
tpt this week.
Minnpost highlights some of the results of the show’s local visit, which will continue to air over the next two weeks.
“The show visits the
American Swedish Institute to look at Mora clocks, the
Wabasha Street Caves to talk about flashlights, and the World War II hangar of the
Commemorative Air Force—Minnesota Wing, whose holdings include (who knew?) wartime Disney cartoons and memorabilia," it states.
One local woman finds out that her 1885 heirloom oil painting by Russian artist Franz Roubaud is highly valuable, thanks to the current Russian art market.
The upcoming May 14 episode includes appearances from Minnesota Supreme Court justice and Pro Football Hall of Famer Alan Page, who collects black Americana objects.
