I recently visited The Minneapolis Institute of Arts; even though it's not anywhere near NYC, I would like to write a few lines about it in this blog, as it's definitely worth a visit should you find yourself in the area. The museum has a vast collection of European and American art from early 1900s and before. You will find on display artists such as Bouguereau, Sargent and Rembrandt. Some of the most representative pieces can be seen below. Also in the museum is a great collection of Asian art and artifacts, as well as contemporary Western art. The museum is adjacent to the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, MCAD, a well known art school in the Twin Cities. Admission to the museum is free of charge.
