Minneapolis Institute of Art

One of the best places to go in the Twin Cities & the best museum in Minnesota IMO. Offers a variety of art styles, mediums & eras. Gets many of the tours including da Vinci, the Louvre & Rembrandt.

This museum is incredible. Yes, there's fabulous fine art . But there are also many interesting objects from the ancient world to contemporary items. All in a glorious building. Do not miss it!

Absolutely loved the Art in Bloom exhibition . I brought children to this event , activities were great for all ages. We got to enjoy other exhibits as well . Great visit over all.

Minneapolis is blessed with some amazing museums and this is one of my favourites...not to mention it has the children's theatre which is one of the best in the country !

Amazing collection. We spent 4 hours walking around and barely even touched the third floor. I think I'll need another few days in this place to see it all.

Had no idea there was such a wonderful museum that was free! We were only able to spend a couple of hours there, but we will go back! Such a wonderfully diverse collection!

I enjoyed my visit here! I got to look at awesome works of art and read the history behind everything. Would definitely recommend people to visit at least once!

I came to see the native women artist show but next time will schedule mire time to check out addl galleries . It reminds me of NYC’s MET.

Must see museum . It is free and has a great collection of art . Stop for coffee and sandwiches too.

Visiting from out of two and was pleasantly surprised with this museum . For a free museum , this place has plenty to see and you could spend an entire day looking at things!

For some reason I didn't expect Mpls to have a great art museum but they some fine works and a great layout that will keep me going back since it is free as well

Beautiful museum , great exhibits . Loved the Art in Bloom show! Replicating art with floral arrangements.

Free and a wonderful place to spend the afternoon checking out art or going to a children's play.

Wonderful collection of art old and new! Get on their mailing list - they will surprise you with the offerings of lectures and special events available!

Voted "Best View " of the Minneapolis Skyline by City Pages in 2012! The museum is filled with amazing things to see, but one of the prettiest pictures it holds is outside.

Donation-based, terrific art museum . Really honors and acknowledges the local communities.

Nice free indoor option for those cold Minnesota days. Plus, great collection!

This is so much fun !

Free admission , fabulous Asian and Native American collection, spacious , engaging.

Make sure you go for Delacroix’s Influence: The Rise of Modern Art from Cézanne to van Gogh . Great Exhibit .

The audio tour devices are actually free on Sundays. Get them for sure. And don't forget to donate whatever you can :-)

Everything was awesome! The exhibits are enough to keep me occupied all day. Especially the Devo exhibit .

Pick a favorite artwork and say hello to it every time you visit! It becomes a friend! ❤️

Gorgeous place and also absolutely free. Fantastic view from the big windows ❤️️

Look up to see the mobile hanging over the main area, made by the great Alexander Calder.

Pop up Park was a shining example of nonprofit art and its cost on the human soul.

I love this museum . Beautiful space, nice traveling shows to see and a delicious D'Amico and Sons cafe inside

Did you see it is FREE? I love this place! Also, great view of the Minneapolis skyline. Take your date here; it will be fun! ;)

Great classical art museum ; some modern and post-modern as well , but harder to find.

The third floor has the most exciting exhibitions if you’re looking for modern & contemporary art .

Asian exhibit , and the featured Habsburg's exhibit are worth price of admission .

Free admission with recommended donation of $10.

Nice collection of works of art of all styles

Go and see the current exhibit—Egypt’s Sunken Cities . You’ll be amazed!

Plan to be entranced and to stay for hours (oh, and don't forget to grab a map)

The MIA has been cultivating its permanent Asian art collection , which spans 17 cultures, for more than 90 years. It's definitely worth at least 17 chunks of your time.

This is one of my favorite places in Mpls. We have so much beauty at our fingertips!

April 16th & 17th is the Print & Drawing Fair . A premier opportunity to browse or buy great works of art . FREE admission both days. Visit our Facebook page for details. Read more

The family play room is a favorite destination for our kids. The coffee shop by D'Amico makes it even better!

Eat before you come. Grainstack is closed indefinitely. Halfpint is often closed. Dogwood is open, so at least there is coffee !

Don't miss the China stuff. Well , it's pretty much pan-Asian. Also the colored glass.

Japanese art , Indian art , free admission , Chinese art

Must See - The Van Gogh in the Target Wing... the texture and colors are out of this world.

Love it! Something for everyone
