Buried Treasure
Highlights from the Minnesota Museum of American Art
By Tim Gihring
Some of the most beautiful art in the state doesn’t have a home. Since the Minnesota Museum of American Art closed its gallery in 2008, its collection of fine 19th and 20th century paintings, drawings, and sculpture have largely resided in a suburban warehouse. This fall, some of the most impressive artworks began to tour the state. Here’s a look at 10 of them.
