More information on Minneapolis Planetarium

An architecture-buff's dream, this library is an all-purpose learning center and inviting haven for Minneapolis residents and visitors alike. Completed in the spring of 2006, the building immediately garnered rave reviews for its innovative use of light and existing surroundings, making it one of the best examples of the city's varied architectural style. The library itself houses the fourth-largest collection of any metropolitan library in the country, as well as large special collections, public art, and educational centers (it even has its own coffee bar!). Be sure to check out the website for updated classes and activities that keep this public complex bustling year-round.

Traveler Photos of Minneapolis

Ozarkland!  Just as tacky inside as outside! Dylan acting silly trying on Dorothy's red slipper!  We're in Kansas! Capitol building in Topeka, KS.  We visited on a Sunday so we did not get to go inside this time.  I went in last summer.  Nice. Eisenhower Center, Abilene, KS
