The Minneapolis Institute of Arts is a treasure trove of art from ages past and places near and far.

When you visit this museum, give yourself a LOT of time. The collection is vast, and you may well find yourself spending your whole day inside.

Back when I lived in Minneapolis, I would only plan to see one collection or gallery each day. My favorite visit was the Asian galleries, and specifically the massive jade boulder that was sculpted into a village scene. I could quite honestly stare at it for hours.
