The Minneapolis Institute Of Arts is definitely a Minnesota treasure. It houses a huge permanent collection that includes many highly significant works, the most famous of which is probably Rembrandt's masterpiece "Lucretia."
While the institute doesn't get the same sort of high profile traveling exhibitions as NY or Chicago, it does have several smaller exhibitions throughout the year that are well worth seeing.
The Museum is expanding and will have a huge new gallery area open in 2006.
Admission to the Institute and almost all exhibitions is FREE.
