A native's informal guide to Minneapolis & St. Paul. Ninth of several.
Okay, so you've networked and you've eaten. Now you want to play tourist. Almost all the usual suggestions are good and I will just whip by them in passing: The Minnesota Science Museum, The Guthrie and the nearby Mill City Museum, The Walker Art Center and the adjoining Sculpture Gardens (be sure to walk over the bridge to Loring Park). The Minnesota Institute of Arts (within walking distance of the Convention Center). (The American Swedish Institute is closed for renovations.) Minnehaha Falls (now especially engorged). James J. Hill House and the Minnesota Historical Society in St. Paul.
But wait! There's more!
