🏛️ Weisman Art Museum | Architectural Artistry on the Mississippi

Designed by world-renowned architect Frank Gehry and perched dramatically on the banks of the Mississippi River, the Weisman Art Museum (WAM) is itself a monumental work of art. The building's iconic, shimmering stainless steel facade—a collection of abstract, curvaceous forms—has become a defining landmark of the University of Minnesota's Minneapolis campus and the city skyline, making the journey to see its exterior a worthwhile destination in itself. ✨ The Weisman Experience: While the exterior is a sculptural marvel, the interior galleries hold their own with a distinguished collection of over 25,000 works. The focus is primarily on 20th-century American art, with strengths in Modernism, ceramics, and Korean furniture. The collection includes works by giants like Georgia O'Keeffe, Marsden Hartley, and Alfred Stieglitz. The museum is compact and manageable, often featuring thought-provoking temporary exhibitions. Best of all, admission is always free, making it an accessible and inspiring cultural stop. 📝 Short Social Media Caption: “A Frank Gehry masterpiece on the river. ✨🏛️ The Weisman Art Museum at the U of M is a free, architectural wonder housing an impressive modern art collection. 📍 333 E River Pkwy, Minneapolis, MN** #WeismanArtMuseum #FrankGehry #MinneapolisArt #Architecture #FreeMuseum #UofM #ModernArt #MississippiRiver #CulturalLandmark #ExploreMinneapolis
