Museum Receives Gift of Scriver Bronzes

GREAT FALLS – The C.M. Russell Museum has received over 50 bronzes created by the late Bob Scriver. A gift of the Ed and Shirley Mitch Family, the exhibition "Bob Scriver: Montana Renaissance Man" will open to the public at noon on Sunday, April 15 at the Russell Museum. Ed and two of his three children will be on hand for the event. In addition to honoring his family, Ed sees this exhibition as a wonderful way to honor Bob Scriver, who passed away in 1999. "Bob worked for years to establish some sort of Scriver Museum here in Great Falls, and it just never happened," Ed said. "I think he would be very pleased if he knew this was happening."
