The eight places that explain the Twin Cities: the room Prince filmed in, the museum you would fly to see, the bridge, the falls, the mill ruins, the studios. Finish this and you are of the metro, not just in it.
Locals take years to do this list. Visitors have done it in a week. Both count.
The room. The black stars on the wall track everyone who has played it.
The 1883 stone rail bridge over Saint Anthony Falls. The city’s essential walk.
A museum in the ruins of the flour mill that made Minneapolis. Ride the Flour Tower.
Contemporary art at national scale, with the Sculpture Garden and the Spoonbridge across the way.
Ninety thousand objects, five thousand years, free admission.
A 53-foot waterfall inside city limits. Go once in summer and once frozen.
Free zoo, the McNeely Conservatory, a Japanese garden. The kind of park America stopped building.
Nine floors of working artist studios. Go on a First Thursday, or brave Art-A-Whirl in May.
All eight. You have met the city. From here on you are the one giving directions.
