Discovering the Arts Boom in Minneapolis
Summary:
Minneapolis, already a hub of museums and theater, is witnessing a remarkable arts boom.
Article Body:
The cultural scene in Minneapolis, traditionally rich with museums and theaters, is experiencing an exciting transformation. Recently named the only U.S. destination on Travel + Leisure magazine's list of "up-and-coming places to visit in 2006," Minneapolis is gaining recognition alongside prominent global destinations. Spearheaded by five renowned international architects, this 18-month revitalization has resulted in nearly half a billion dollars in new cultural infrastructure.
Key Highlights:
Walker Art Center:
Renowned as the nation's leading contemporary arts center, its expansion has doubled the facility, including bold new galleries and a 385-seat theater. The New York Times lauds it as "one of the country’s liveliest and most personable museums." In the first 10 weeks post-reopening, the museum attracted over 600,000 visitors.
Children's Theatre Company:
Celebrated as America’s premier theater for young audiences and families, Time magazine calls it the best children’s troupe in the country. It remains the only Tony Award-winning theater for young people. The recent expansion introduces a second stage, catering to preschool and teenage audiences.
Minneapolis Public Library:
A must-see for travelers, the new Central Library boasts the nation’s fourth-largest public library collection. It features five stories of book space, cozy fireside reading areas, a café, a teen center, and a comprehensive children’s library.
Minneapolis Institute of Arts:
One of the leading encyclopedic art museums in the U.S., it now offers 40% more gallery space, showcasing over 100,000 objects spanning 5,000 years. Notably, the museum provides free admission.
Guthrie Theater:
A landmark of the not-for-profit resident theater movement, this esteemed regional theater invites global visitors to its new three-theater complex. The public lobbies and the 178-foot-long cantilever bridge offer breathtaking views of the Mississippi River.
Beyond its vibrant arts scene, Minneapolis also features three Tony Award-winning theaters, the nation’s largest shopping mall, five professional sports teams, 57 museums, world-class dining options, a buzzing nightlife, and abundant recreational opportunities within the city.
