2-for-1 Admission to discover B. Franklin

2-for-1 Admission "Benjamin Franklin: In Search of a Better World."

Meet the real Ben.

Founding father, scientist, civic leader, entrepreneur, rebellious teen. Learn about the many sides of Benjamin Franklin in this electrifying new exhibit. Now on view at the Minnesota History Center.

Look for the Dot Deals coupon ad in the Star Tribune paper on 3/11, 3/13 and 3/14.

This is a quick blog entry, as I don't know much about this exhibit, or Benjamin Franklin for that matter--aside from the flying-a-kite-with-a-key-to-discover-electricity basic knowledge. I found this in an email from the "Star Tribune Offers" email and it piques my interest. I heard some interesting things about it on the radio.
