Weisman Art Museum

Located within the University of Minnesota and near the river, the scenery here is undoubtedly beautiful 🌳. As I explored the art exhibits 🎨, I discovered a restroom on the second floor, and that’s when I stumbled upon the real gem—an open-air balcony with stunning views. The Minneapolis skyline from up there is simply amazing 🌆~~~

It is located in University of Minnesota. I have always like frank ghery architecture. It is also along the Minnesota river.

I have a great time exploring the interior space of the museum with great skylight and natural daylight that enter into the museum. It also has great view out at certain part of the museum curated for it. I enjoy the art piece standing glass fish by frank ghery in the museum.
There are many nice expressionist works in the museum too.

The facade of the building is made of the aluminium cladding and glass which complimented each other. It is a deconstructionist work of architecture which I appreciated especially on the details of it.

Note that water bottle has to be place at the front desk. And one has to carry the bag either in front of you or park at the front desk.

It is free to enter to this museum to appreciate the pieces and there is a gift shop that sell a lot of nice candles , art pieces for both keepsake and also as gift.

I own Celisia Stanton Photography, and one of my clients held their wedding at the Weisman Art Museum. The Weisman is the perfect wedding venue for a couple looking for a more unique and less traditional wedding venue. My clients and I were able to explore the museum for couples photos, and it was so fun to capture candids of them in front of the art. The outside of the museum is also gorgeous, and it was so cool to capture couples and family photos with the Minneapolis skyline in the background. I highly recommend this venue to any couples looking to host an intimate wedding with a unique and artsy twist.

I’m honestly not much of an art museum fan. But I do enjoy unusual architecture and this building piqued my interest. Plus, it is free admission. There were a few exhibits/pieces that I found interesting. The location is also nice for some photos being by the river and a pedestrian bridge. I didn’t stay too long so street parking was good enough for me.

Well worth a visit. Some great pieces of art, free (donations are definitely worth it). Not super big but sometimes I like that type of museum. Great view of the city from patio & courtyard + coolest facade I’ve seen in quite a while!

Love this museum! So so much history, culture, and talent! There is something for everyone novice and experts!

Please update Google maps with your summer hours. Drove all the way there a and they were closed at 5:25.

*They responded to the above comment within an hour and fixed the issue. After that I changed my review from 1 to 5 stars.

Thanks for the quick response!

The outside architecture is almost more exciting than the art inside, but it was all pretty darn cool.
Spent a pleasant hour or so with my sixteen-year old daughter on a recent trip to the Cities.
