A mural by artist is Gregory Manchess of Portland, Oregon, depicts the Cresco boyhood home of Dr. Norman Borlaug inside the Dr. Norman E. Borlaug Hall of Laureates Thursday in Des Moines. |
Des Moines Register:
The first of more than 100 new pieces of artwork for the World Food Prize Hall of Laureates in downtown Des Moines went up this week with a little touch-up help Thursday from restoration artist Rick Van Oel of Des Moines.
The new mural is one of four that will hang under the original 10,000-piece stained-glass skylight, which was reinstalled Wednesday after cleaning and repairs.
The budget for the $30 million renovation project in the old Des Moines Public Library includes more than $3.5 million for artwork, which will be in place for the grand opening in October.
