Weisman Art Museum

An impressive, beautifully designed review of the significant art collection of the University of Minnesota The Frederick R. Weisman Art Museum is internationally recognized for its creative building, designed by world-renowned architect Frank Gehry, but its interior also deserves acclaim: the art collection of the University of Minnesota includes a vast array of art and artifacts from pre-Columbian Mimbres pottery to a popular interactive installation by Edward and Nancy Kienholz, and features works by Georgia OKeeffe, Marsden Hartley, Roy Lichtenstein, Louise Nevelson, Andy Warhol, Berenice Abbott, Jacob Lawrence, Robert Motherwell, Lewis Hine, and Edward Hopper. An essay by longtime museum director Lyndel King accompanies fifty full-color reproductions of paintings, sculptures, photographs, ceramics, and other objects from the collection.
