Minnesota Museum of American Art

The Minnesota Museum of American Art occupies the Historic Pioneer Endicott building and presents a collection of around 5,000 American artworks spanning from the 19th century to today. The galleries display paintings, sculptures, and other artistic works representing various styles and periods.

The institution began in 1894 as the St. Paul School of Fine Arts and became the Minnesota Museum of American Art in 1992. This name change represented a shift toward its current focus on American art.

The museum displays works by prominent American artists including Paul Manship, George Morrison, and Louise Nevelson. The collection reflects different movements in American art history and lets visitors trace the evolution of artistic practice across multiple periods.

The museum opens Thursday through Sunday from 10 AM to 4 PM and offers free admission to indoor galleries. Visitors can easily access the building and do not need to worry about entrance fees.

The museum presents rotating exhibitions in street-facing Window Galleries and Skyway Installations. This allows passersby to view artworks from outside the building without entering.
