The Sioux City Public Museum located in Sioux City, Iowa was originally a mansion and had exhibits relating to the history of the region. There were also exhibits detailing the Lakota people, Omaha people, and Winnebago people. Subjects in the museum exhibits included anthropology, archeology, natural history, science, and the military. ==History== The museum used to be home to the financier John Peirce who built the Romanesque home out of Sioux Quartzite with 23 rooms in 1893. First purchased by a group called the Junior League in 1959, the opening of the mansion as a museum was in September 1960.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sioux Citian To Talk Here )〕 There was a robbery of a saddlebag from the museum in 1996 that was part of a string of museum thefts which involved stealing Native American artifacts. A new location was opened in Sioux City's downtown at a former J. C. Penney store which includes a theater, classrooms, and exhibition rooms. The museum project cost 12.5 million dollars. A new exhibit was opened that is all about the song "Sioux City Sue". The museum takes up 10,000 square feet.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sioux City Museum Home Page )〕 The original mansion is being renovated to its original purpose; there are currently rooms for different functions and a ballroom.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sioux City's Peirce Mansion Shows Off Its Newest Renovations )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sioux City Public Museum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
