Following the dramatic expansion of its facilities in 1980, the Art Centre has emerged as a leading force in the region for presenting the work of important new artists, and investigating major artistic directions of the 20th century. The museum additionally has a strong commitment to artists of the region. The Metropolitan Museum of Art is one of the largest and finest art museums in the world. This site is designed to give visitors an overview of the collections on display in the Museum's galleries. The Minnesota Museum of American Art serves the Upper Midwest with programs that use art as a tool to explore issues of personal identity and social concerns.
