Great art on the university campus!!! Loved the Roy Lictenstein that greated me in the lobby, this mural was from 1964 World's Fair (Queens. NY). I came from NY to see it. You can easily do this museum in a few hours then get a nice walk on campus!

This is a bit of a hidden gem of a museum that ois on the UMinn campus. It is FREE, for one thing! It has a really fun facade that makes it one of more unique buildings in the Cities and certainly on campus. There is a fun Cities concept exhibit that talks about you can think of different City concepts than the norm, and it has an interesting sky way map in the downtown Minneapolis. A variety of classic and modern-ish art displays. A great reason Togo to campus and then explore a very beautiful campus as well!

PROS: Worthy and relevant example of great contemporary architecture. Fine urban relations to be explored and discovered. CONS: limited visit hours. Extremely difficult to observe from the surrounding, largely due to the U. of Minnesota’s public access restrictions to its buildings across the bridge on the opposite side of the Mississippi River.

This museum is a gem. Architecture is best seen from the river front entrance as far as I can tell. Appreciated the diversity of exhibits heavy (incarceration/partition) to laughter. I am visiting and it was a worthy reprieve between conference sessions. And a fun walk across the bridge back to downtown. It’s free too. My visit was Saturday at lunch time. There’s a space to just sit in a space with lots of light so a good rest spot too.
