A fact from The Bakken appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 12 January 2008, and was viewed approximately 1,060 times (disclaimer). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that Earl Bakken who invented the wearable cardiac pacemaker and co-founded Medtronic also created The Bakken, the world's only library and museum devoted to electricity in life?

Flower?

The photograph of the flower seems gratuitous. Do we really need a gallery that includes this photograph? TableManners^U·T·C 07:50, 12 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Who are "we"? If you have any free photos whatsoever of this place I'd like to see them, if not here in the commons. I know of only one other free image. -Susanlesch (talk) 08:45, 12 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

I don't think we really don't need a gallery section at all. This isn't an art museum. There's nothing intrinsically floral about the Bakken other than the fact that it has a garden outside.--Dusvb (talk) 01:49, 2 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
