History of Photography with Kary Janousek

Join us for a lecture on the history of photography from local artist Kary Janousek!

Step back into the 19th century and discover how photography began. Wet plate collodion artist Kary Janousek traces the remarkable history of photography, from its earliest experiments to the invention of the tintype and beyond. Drawing on years of experience creating photographs using authentic 19th-century techniques, she shares the science, artistry, and fascinating stories behind one of history’s most influential inventions. Historical cameras, photographs, books, and photographic equipment will be on display as part of the presentation.
Kary Janousek is a Minnesota-based wet plate collodion photographer who began working with the historic process in 2019. Since then, she has held 12 solo exhibitions, self-published two photography books, and completed her 2024 Silver Lining tour across historic sites in North Dakota and Deadwood, South Dakota. Working primarily in natural light, Janousek regularly lectures, demonstrates, and teaches workshops. Her historically-inspired images are archived in eight Midwestern museums, reflecting her commitment to preserving and sharing one of photography’s earliest artistic traditions.
Visit Janousek’s website to learn more about her work.

FREE EVENT - Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope Launch Party Open House
2026-08-29 08:30 - 10:30 | MSUM Planetarium
Did you know a new space telescope is launching? Let’s celebrate at the MSUM Planetarium!
This event is best for ages 10 and under.
From 8:30 to 10:30am, we will be hosting a free open house style event!
Come to the Planetarium for the following:
Free activities including:

Building and launching your own air powered rocket
Helping add onto our moon base
creating your own mission patch
Veiws of our sun through solar telescopes (weather and volenteer permitting)
AND MORE!

Additionally, we will have a looping of 3-5 minute videos about the telescope under the stars inside the Planetarium designed for ages 10 and under.
Expect around 30-45 minutes of fun during your visit!

For our older friends, we will be hosting a science breifing at 7pm (with additional shows added if needed). Tickets are $5, and you can get them on our page.
Named after NASA’s first chief astronomer, the ‘mother of the Hubble Space Telescope,’ the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will have a field of view at least 100 times larger than Hubble’s, potentially measuring light from a billion galaxies in its lifetime. This observatory will also be able to block starlight to directly see exoplanets and planet-forming disks, complete a statistical census of planetary systems in our galaxy, and settle essential questions in the areas of dark energy, exoplanets, and infrared astrophysics.
This event will not feature the launch of the telescope.
