As a city known for its culture and arts it is therefore no wonder that Minneapolis is home to some of the nation’s finest museums. Most of these institutes preserve aspects of local culture such as the American Swedish Institute on Park Avenue. This museum is dedicated towards telling the story of thousands of Swedish immigrants who called America home and also plays host to a number of concerts, lectures and recitals.
 
The Bell Museum of Natural History also captures a local flavor by chronicling the history of the Upper Mid-West’s geological and ecological past. Main features of the museum include replicated forests, rainforest exhibits and botanical art. In addition the museum also possesses a wealth of information and has a number of rare books and journals published on nature.
 
For motor car enthusiasts the Ellingson Car Museum is a must see attraction. The museum is home to over 100 different vintage models ranging from cars to motorcycles. Built with a 1950’s theme the museum has a delightful 50’s style hangout that truly captures the ambience of the era.
A number of important art museums can also be found in Minneapolis such as the Walker Art Centre, Museum of Russian Art, Minneapolis Institute of Arts and the Fredrick R. Weismann Art Museum. Other interesting cultural highlights include the science oriented Bakken Library and Museum and the Mill City Museum which depicts the history of the Upper Mid-West.
