L. Brandon Giovanelli
1937-1994

Brandon Giovanelli graduated from Iron River High School and Northern Michigan University and returned to teach art in his home town and also Gogebic College. He transformed his parent's home into a gallery that displayed the variety of his artistic work from Renaissance style to contemporary art and built his studio over the garage.  The home and studio, a gift to the Museum by his relatives, were moved to the grounds in 1999 and display a collection of his work. His home is one of the most unique exhibits at the Iron County Museum and displays his multi-media talents.
