Twin Cities — Center for the arts

Stroll through the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden, one of the
largest urban sculpture gardens in the country. Visit the
historic Mill City Museum, winner of the National Trust for
Historic Preservation’s 2004 Honor Award. Or enjoy a play at one
of our three Tony Award-winning theaters: Children’s Theatre
Company, Theatre de la Jeune Lune, and Guthrie Theater. If
that's too stuffy, then consider the largest Fringe Festival in
the country. And you'll surely have time to enjoy one nearly 200
Minnesota Orchestra concerts performed each year. There's no
excuse not to visit an exhibit (or the gift shop) at the Weisman
Art Museum because it's right on campus.
