Affectionately known as the MIA, this museum is home to an exceptional gallery of Impressionist paintings and an exquisite Asian collection. The museum holds significant works by American and European artists including Picasso, Kandinsky, Matisse and Rodin, though it continues to keep pace with the 21st century: in 2006 it added a 113,000-square-foot expansion wing, designed by post-modernist architect Michael Graves, to the original 1915 marble building. Major touring shows hang each year in the MIA's large Dayton Hudson Gallery. Don't miss the period rooms, especially when they are decked out for Christmas. Admission is free.
