The Minneapolis Institute of Art is the premiere fine art museum in Minneapolis, located across an eight-acre campus in the city's Whittier neighborhood. The museum was originally established in 1883 as the Minneapolis Society of Fine Arts and showcases an impressive encyclopedic collection of more than 80,000 objects and artworks covering 5,000 years of human history from antiquity to the present day. Collections include impressive holdings of African, Oceanic, Asian, and American art, along with the historic Purcell-Cutts House, a Chinese Garden, and the outdoor Target Park contemporary sculpture park. Visitors can enjoy the museum for free Tuesdays through Sundays during the morning and afternoon hours, though certain special exhibitions require a ticketed upcharge.
