This small modern art museum , designed by Frank Gehry , has wonderful intimate galleries and free admission . It also happens to be where we got married, so I might be biased...
Voted "Best Museum " by City Pages in 2012! With over 8,000 square feet of exhibition space, the collections present a great chance to see work from modern icons as well as lesser-known but worthy ones
Loved the views from the terraces , the outdoor areas , the easy access and how compact and easy it is to tour the museum . Make sure to go to the upper floor to the terrace .
The building is a Frank Gehry design, so just seeing it from the outside makes the visit worthwhile, but if you have time, go in. It’s usually free.
A teaching museum for the University of MN Twin Cities since 1934, the museum 's current building, designed by architect Frank Gehry , was completed in 1993. It's often called a modern art museum .
Beautiful art and architecture on the University of Minnesota campus in Minneapolis.

Great first date/second activity followed by ice cream .
Free admission .
FREE VIEWING OF ART
Research on the art displayed there before going-usually only 1-2 very specific galleries .
Go to the Weisman Art Museum and check out the big Motherwell mural .
