MINNESOTA---A unique show on the life and times of Protestant reformer Martin Luther opens at the Minneapolis Institute of Art this weekend. The exhibition "Martin Luther: Art and the Reformation" displays artifacts from Luther's personal life, as well as art, books and religious items. The show will only be displayed in Minnesota, and only through Jan. 15. Many of us know the story of how Luther reshaped Christianity by nailing his 95 Theses to a church door in Germany in 1517. Luther wanted to challenge the sale of indulgences, which supposedly guaranteed quicker access to heaven. [
