Well, all good things must come to an end, as they say. But this really isn't the end, it's just the beginning.

On behalf of the staff and all the volunteers with The Leonardo who helped us make this event successful, I want to say thank you. We had a spectacular time hosting this world-class exhibit. Altogether we had more than 290,000 people see the exhibit over the four months before we closed on January 11th. This job required a lot of hours every day, especially over the final weekends when we had huge crowds of thousands of people coming through from early in the morning to late at night. We owe a lot to all the volunteers who opted to show up and help us, because we were strapped for help at times. (this partially explains why activity on this blog diminished in the final weeks... sorry about that). Definitely we reached a climax over the last three days when we were open for 72 hours straight. Even in the middle of the night we had visitors turning up wanting to buy tickets to get in. It was an incredibly fun and festive atmosphere to be a part of.

The Leonardo has recently presented new plans to the City for renovation of the old Salt Lake City library, along with plans for future exhbits for the space. Those plans are being evaluated now and we hope to reach a decision soon. Given we can move forward The Leonardo is ready to be a permanent museum offering great programming to the Utah public. .

So please stay tuned. And thank you again.
