Museums & History
Whether you're a local or a visitor, Minneapolis's diverse museums offer enriching experiences that celebrate art, history, science, and culture. With 55 museums in the metropolitan area, there's always something new to explore.
There are thousands of years of history and art between the banks of the Mississippi and the lakes on the western edge of the city. You'll find it all in our numerous museums, ranging from the "most explosive museum in the world," (Mill City Museum) carved out of the ruins of what was once the world's largest flour mill to some of the top ranked art museums in the U.S. and the world, designed by the likes of Herzog & de Meuron, Frank Gehry and Michael Graves.
