Frederick R. Weisman Art Museum - University of Minnesota
Minneapolis homes for sale come in all styles and sizes, reflecting the eclectic nature and long history of the Twin Cities. The Minneapolis-St. Paul area is also home to some of the nation's top universities, leading employers, and much more. It's lauded as a world-class center of art and culture.
This is never more evident than with the Weisman Art Museum at the University of Minnesota.
Weisman Museum Brings Modern Art to Life
Opened in 1934, Weisman Art Museum is a teaching museum for the University of Minnesota. Students at the university have the opportunity to enrich their scholarship with exhibits aligned with their curriculum as they advance in their studies.
Weisman is characterized as a modern art museum, though its collection includes more than 25,000 images total that run the gamut of styles and backgrounds. Here, you can find Native American pottery and traditional Korean furniture alongside painting and photography.
The museum is particularly well known for its building designed by renowned architect Frank Gehry. Its stainless steel outer covering gives it a striking appearance. It also sits on one of the most desirable overlooks on campus, granting a breathtaking view of the Mississippi River.

Vanishing Ice is another groundbreaking exhibit that calls on visitors to take a fresh look at the frozen tundra of the Arctic. Focusing on how frozen landscapes have inspired artists throughout the centuries, it showcases 47 artworks created between 1860 and 2017.
