Around the museum
Because the museum is about Minneapolis and Hennepin County, it pairs well with a wider day in the city. Visitors exploring the area can use it as a starting point for learning about the place they are walking through, then continue to the neighbourhoods, parks and other attractions that make up Minneapolis.
