Chrys Riviere-Blalock, a professor from a local community college, said, “..as we left the Mint my student said, "I can't believe I actually got to see real Picassos, Monets and that incredible Pre-Columbian  exhibit! I thought I would never see work like that until I got to travel to Europe or New York!" I can not tell you how animated and happy this woman was to have seen what she saw at the Mint. I wish everyone on your staff could have heard her excitement and enthusiasm. Thanks for all you and your colleagues do to make a trip to the Mint so accessible and rewarding.”
