In the summer of 2001, the University of Minnesota Physics Department started a new scientific project in the Soudan Mine in Northern Minnesota in Soudan, MN, near Ely. My husband, Joseph, was commissioned to paint a mural on a 60 ft. wide by 25 ft. high wall. The actual project was contained in a huge room in the mine (about 1/2 mile underground) which is as big as a football field and has two levels - the second level has a catwalk that overlooks the mural. Starting in the Summer of 2002, the Soudan State Park Underground Mine tour now includes a stop at the MINOS detector. Tourists get a chance to view the mural up close, a display about neutrino physics and they get a feel for the enormous MINOS detector modules. For more detail go to www.physics.umn.edu/outreach. The following are a few pictures of the mural progress.

This is the location of the location of the scientific project in its earliest stage - empty and cavernous.	This is the same location as image above - a work in progress.	Joseph's original mock-up design of his soon-to-be mural.
