Tweed Museum of Art

The Tweed Museum of Art is an art museum at the University of Minnesota Duluth that houses a broad collection of European, American, and other artworks spanning several centuries. The nine galleries display creative works from the 15th century through today.

The museum was established in 1950 when Alice Tweed Tuohy donated her residence and about 500 artworks. A dedicated building for the collection was constructed in 1958.

The museum displays works that reflect different artistic perspectives from the region while connecting them to broader international movements. Visitors can see how local and global artistic approaches are presented side by side in the exhibitions.

The museum is located on the university campus and is open to visitors on different days of the week. It is easy to reach and the galleries are straightforward to walk through.

The collection holds the largest group of landscape paintings by artist Gilbert Munger and displays significant works from the Richard E. Dorothy Rawlings Nelson Collection. These special holdings make the museum a notable destination for those interested in these specific artistic traditions.
