History
Established in 2012.
The Copper Art Museum is a new museum with roots that can be traced back to 1919, where an antique shop was located in Northern Minnesota. In the early 1960’s copper wares were collected throughout Europe and later sold in the U.S.A. at on-the-road shows throughout the Midwest during the 1970’s. The 1980’s — 90’s saw an increase in purchases and sales of copper artifacts from Europe and the U.S.A.
In the early 2000’s the collection was so large that plans of a museum came to life and a location was sought. Later Clarkdale, Arizona was chosen as the site for a museum of copper art.
