The Frederick R. Weisman Art Museum is a dazzling brick and stainless steel residence that sits along the Mississippi River, designed by internationally renowned architect Frank Gehry.

This stunning architectural space has been a landmark for the University of Minnesota and the Twin Cities since 1993 when it first opened its doors as a museum.

It has only become a more prominent feature over the years since Gehry expanded on his original design in 2011, adding 8,100 square feet to the property.

It now houses double the number of gallery exhibits, including a permanent collection of over 25,000 works that focus on the art of American modernism.
