Top Museums in Minneapolis

I recommend exploring the outdoor sculpture garden first. The fresh air is a nice break and the views are amazing—plus, it helps you to start the day with some beautiful art before hitting the indoor exhibits!

My advice is to take your time with the exhibits, especially the immersive ones. I felt rushed at first, but slow down and actually soak everything in—it makes a world of difference.

I suggest visiting on a Thursday evening when they have free admission from 5 to 9 PM. It was super crowded but totally worth it for the price!

If you're on a budget, definitely check out the museum shop. I found some cool souvenirs that won't break the bank

I think taking the time to watch the documentary about the mills is worth it; it adds so much context to the whole experience.

Try the café there! I got a traditional Swedish pastry that was delish. I think it’s a great way to take a techational break during your visit.
