Weisman Art Museum places the University of Minnesota's art collection in Frank Gehry's distinctive building above the Mississippi River.
Its reflective exterior draws attention from outside, while galleries introduce modern and contemporary work and changing exhibitions. The contrast between the expressive architecture and individual artworks is part of the experience.
Check current exhibitions and campus visitor arrangements before arriving. Allow time for both the galleries and exterior viewpoints, and confirm parking and building access rather than assuming university spaces follow the same schedule throughout the year.
Visitor details reviewed October 17, 2026. Check official visitor information for current access, admission, and operating arrangements. View on OpenStreetMap.
