During your Golden Valley vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Minneapolis Institute of Arts (MIA)
The MIA's permanent collection of over 100,000 objects of fine and decorative art represents more than 5,000 years of history, including a 2,000-year-old mummy, European masters (Rembrandt, Titian, and Monet, among others), and a comprehensive photography exhibit. The museum's largest and most diverse gallery is its collection of architecture, design, and decorative arts, including a portion of a Prairie School house. If you're short on time, ask for the "Highlights" brochure. Allow 2 hours.
Minnesota History Center
An impressive array of artifacts is housed in this three-story museum, including photographs, music, and videos, much of it designed for hands-on learning and all of it celebrating Minnesota history. Kids especially enjoy sitting in the re-created basement of a Minnesota farmhouse while a simulated tornado passes overhead. Avoid weekday mornings if you don't like to tour with school groups. Allow 1 1/2 hours.
Minnesota Museum of American Art
The Twin Cities' only museum dedicated solely to American art, the MMAA has been around for over 30 years, but its new Riverfront Gallery, which opened in 2004, makes the museum feel new.
