Frederick R. Weisman Art Museum, Minneapolis

Dorothy, what have they done to the Tin Man? One of the ugliest buildings in all creation. Stay in Peoria.

I was so excited to go there because it looks so unique and like a great place to go, but inside it doesn't have that much to see, but the art work it did have was simply amazing I just think it should have a bigger selection of art.

The Weisman Museum is a great thing to do whether in the morning or an afternoon or evening. It took us about a hour to go through everything. My favorite part was the little gift shop. They had a lot of really neat kitchen and household things that I didn't expect they would. Prices are very reasonable. I'll probably visit more often..especially for the gift shop.

Those that would like to add a little culture to their trip without being stuck in a museum all day will love the Weisman. This is a one level gemstone of a museum with some really fascinating art that has something for everyone. There was the stuff that I didn�t get then a good few pieces that I totally loved and an interactive exhibit that is just great (I�d say more but I don�t want to ruin the experience for you.) The gift shop has really unique items and for those of you that live in the area, you can rent art! How cool is that!?! There is a suggested donation of $5.00 but if you�re a broke student (the Museum is on the University of MN campus) it�s just a box so put whatever you can inside. Parking is the only downside the ramp is overpriced. If you continue driving about 5-6 blocks east on Washington Avenue though there are some meters (bring 6-8 quarters or so for 2 hours). The walk back to the museum is nice and you get a good taste of University life with the Student Union and various other buildings and coffee shops along the way.
