Hidden Art Revealed in 1914 Basilica | Minneapolis News
Three months into a $50 million renovation of the oldest basilica in the U.S., workers uncovered a stunning hidden treasure: gold stenciling and intricate blue medallions buried under paint since the 1950s. Project leader Johan van Parys called it a “wonderful surprise,” describing the emotional moment of revealing artwork that original worshippers in 1914 would have seen. This discovery adds profound historical depth to the restoration, which aims to return the basilica to its 1914 glory by Easter 2027.
