The Walker Art Center is a must-see. The dramatic expansion by Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron is as bold as the WAC collection. The adjoining Minneapolis Sculpture Garden is home to more than 40 large-scale works, including the iconic Spoonbridge and Cherry.
A visit to the Mill City Museum provides a portal to our flour-milling past. Thanks to an in-house Baking Lab, this interactive gem is billed as "the best-smelling museum ever created." Have a nose for science? Filled with 1.75 million artifacts, the Science Museum of Minnesota welcomes more than a million visitors a year.
