From the Walker Art Center, a contemporary art center, to the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, with its 85,000-piece collection spanning centuries, Minneapolis' 35 museums offer something for everyone. The Twin Cities boast more theater seats per capita than any other U.S. metropolitan area outside New York. Large Broadway productions, such as Victor Victoria and Disney's The Lion King, often debut at the Historic State and Orpheum Theatres, located in the bustling Hennepin Avenue Theatre District in downtown Minneapolis. The city's regional theater jewel, the Guthrie Theater, consistently presents critically-acclaimed contemporary shows. And as a testimony to the strength of the theater scene, more than 30 smaller theater venues sprinkled throughout the city present farsical ballets, cabarets, comedies and other unique performances.
Minneapolis nights sparkle.
With dozens of locales to hear live music from jazz to classical to rock, numerous wine bars and dance clubs, and more than 275 restaurants of all ethnic varieties in the downtown area alone, the Minneapolis nightlife scene is as diverse as the people it serves. Nowhere but Minneapolis. We like it here. Come see why.
