November Nights

As the nights grow longer and the days grow colder here in Minneapolis, many indoor activities become the main source of entertainment. One great place for any occasion is the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. The museum is absolutely enormous and yet tucked in a quite neighborhood in South Minneapolis. The permanent collection ranges from ancient relics to modern fine furniture. Currently, the museum has an exhibition of pieces on loan from the Louvre in Paris. Admission to the permanent collection halls is always free with a suggested donation of $5, and the traveling exhibits is a little bit extra. The Museum is open Tues-Sat from 10- 5 and Sunday 11-5, closed Mondays.
