this museum is home to an exceptional gallery of Impressionist paintings and an exquisite Asian collection. The museum holds significant works by American and European artists including Picasso, Kandinsky, Matisse and Rodin, though it continues to keep pace with the 21st century: in 2006 it added a 113,000-square-foot expansion wing, designed by post-modernist architect Michael Graves, to the original 1915 marble building.

The Minneapolis Institute of Arts is a large and multifaceted art museum uptown Minneapolis, near the College of Art and Design (MCAD).

The MIA holds all sorts of different exhibitions from paintings, sculptures, glass blowing (see photo) and interactive exhibits.

Worth a visit if you’re an art fan, but doesn’t differ much or stand out against other art museums I’ve been to.

Admission is free during the week and so is parking, which is unique.
