Here I have listed links to sites which
explore the cultural resources of Minnesota.

The Loft Literary Center: Founded in 1974 in a loft above a Minneapolis bookstore, the Loft is now the nation's largest and most comprehensive literary center, offering programs and services for readers and writers. Walker Arts Center: The Walker Art Center is a catalyst for the creative expression of artists and the active engagement of audiences. Focusing on the visual, performing, and media arts of our time, the Walker takes a multidisciplinary approach to the creation, presentation, interpretation, collection, and preservation of art. Walker programs examine the questions that shape and inspire us as individuals, cultures, and communities. The Minnesota Orchestra : Hailed by The New York Times as "an international orchestra of real accomplishment," the Minnesota Orchestra is an innovative and enterprising musical organization--considered one of America's great symphony orchestras. The Minnesota Orchestra makes its home at Orchestra Hall in downtown Minneapolis. U Film Society: The U Film Society has always been, and remains today, wholly independent of the University of Minnesota. The Film Society was founded in 1962 by its present-day Artistic Director, Albert Milgrom, who was a graduate student at the U when he started showing films on a white-painted concrete wall with 8mm and 16mm projectors. By the 1990s, U Film had fully equipped itself with full-monty 35mm equipment at 2 campus auditoriums. Although 1 of the 2 auditoriums was involuntarily lost to defective plaster in 1997, U Film still shows movies every night [360+ nights a year] on its screen at Bell Museum Auditorium. The Minnesota Institute Of Arts: Bringing art to life for everyone. The Minneapolis Institute of Arts is dedicated to national leadership in bringing arts and people together to discover, enjoy, and understand the world's diverse artistic heritage. Minnesota Children's Museum: Minnesota Children's Museum is at the heart of where fun meets learning. It’s where kids can touch, climb, splash, crawl, push, pull, and press it all! Children ages 6 months through 10 years and their adult guests can explore six galleries packed with extraordinary hands-on adventures. Burrow through a giant anthill, take the stage in a TV and music studio, create a thunderstorm, operate a big crane, and more! Two changing galleries host new and delightful traveling exhibits throughout the year. |
