| Avant-garde Artist's Books Minneapolis Institute Of Arts | Daily from Sat., December 6 until Sun., May 24 | Uptown/ Eat Street | |
 The cliché "don't judge a book by its cover" definitely doesn't belong at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts' new exhibit "Breaking with Convention: Avant-Garde Artist's Books." That's for a couple of reasons: first, because some of the books won't even have conventional covers, and of... More >> |

| Bakken Evening Out Bakken Library and Museum | Second Tuesday of every month, 5:00pm-8:00pm | Golden Valley | |
 Before you head to the Bakken's monthly date night, Bakken Evening Out, read this cheat sheet for the museum's latest acquisition, a game called Mindball. The object of the game is simple: Two players sit on opposite sides of a table and wear headbands that read their brainwaves and put them up... More >> |

| Holiday Traditions Minneapolis Institute Of Arts | Daily from Fri., November 28 until Sun., January 11 | Uptown/ Eat Street | |
 Believe it or not, there was a time when people didn't decorate their front yards with light-up, animatronic reindeer and giant inflatable Santa Clauses. In fact, once, long, long ago, there were no NASCAR or talking Star Trek Christmas tree ornaments. This might also come as a shock, but... More >> |

| INDIA: Public Places, Private Spaces Minneapolis Institute Of Arts | Daily from Sun., October 26 until Sun., January 18 | Uptown/ Eat Street | |
 When we think of art from India, most of us probably conjure images of Bollywood films or Hindu deities with four arms. This massive show of contemporary Indian photography and video art at MIA promises to be eye-opening, playing with some Indian traditions and stereotypes and exploding others.... More >> |

| Looking Into Likeness: Portraits in the Weisman Collection Frederick R. Weisman Art Museum | Daily from Sat., November 22 until Sat., March 7 | University | |
 The Weisman's collection of portraits makes one thing very clear: The meaning of "portait" can be very flexible. Sure, the exhibit includes the museum's standard portraits on display, including Manet's painting of Edgar Allan Poe. And there's nothing wrong with time-honored techniques like... More >> |

| Mysteries of the Great Lakes Science Museum Of Minnesota | Daily from Mon., December 1 until Thu., January 8 | St. Paul (Downtown) | |
 This holiday season, when you're looking to take in a movie and get away from the hustle, bustle, and stress, forget holiday blockbusters like The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and The Spirit. Opt instead for The Mysteries of the Great Lakes, playing for just a few more days. The 45-minute... More >> |

| Robert Rauschenberg: Prints/Editions 1962-78 Minneapolis Institute Of Arts | Daily from Sat., October 4 until Sun., March 15 | Uptown/ Eat Street | |
 Forty or 50 years on, it's hard to imagine now the manic energy of the art world in the 1960s, or the way that Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns, in particular, blew the doors off of artistic sensibilities at the time. Their libertine experimentalism bridged abstract expressionism and pop... More >> |

| Sleeping in Style: Textiles for the Bedroom Minneapolis Institute Of Arts | Daily from Sat., December 6 until Sun., May 31 | Uptown/ Eat Street | |
 The way in which people sleep says a lot about their culture. The Minneapolis Institute of Arts' bedding exhibit, "Style: Textiles for the Bedroom," explores this concept. It compiles blankets, bedcovers, and bedroom items from nations and cultures across the globe to bring viewers new... More >> |

| Statements: Beuys, Flavin, Judd Walker Art Center | Daily from Thu., May 15 until Sun., July 12 | Minneapolis (Downtown) | |
 At first glance, it might be hard to find a common thread between these three artists, other than hastily applying a "Minimalism" tag to their work or noting that the bulk of their work came out of the 1960s and '70s. Joseph Bueys often worked with felt and manipulated found objects,... More >> |

| Tetsumi Kudo: Garden of Metamorphosis Walker Art Center | Daily from Sat., October 18 until Sun., January 11 | Minneapolis (Downtown) | |
 Late Japanese artist Tetsumi Kudo is sort of like the pinball-ish game pachinko: While hugely popular in Japan and select other places on the map, he just never took off in America. Sure, some American art scholars can talk about his impact on postwar art movements. But despite the 18 years... More >> |

| Text/Messages: Books By Artists Walker Art Center | Daily from Thu., December 18 until Sun., April 19 | Minneapolis (Downtown) | |
 The definitions of "book" and "book arts" have changed drastically in the last 30 or 40 years. No longer is the art form limited to ornately constructed tomes made of leather and gold leaf. Modern books destined for museums demand the viewer to, pardon the pun, read between the lines. In fact,... More >> |

| Vatican Splendors: From Saint Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museums and Swiss Guard Minnesota History Center | Daily from Sat., September 27 until Sun., January 11 | St. Paul (Downtown) | |
 Remember that Onion headline a few years back when Pope John Paul II died? "Heaven Less Opulent Than Vatican, Reports Disappointed Pope." Zing. Everybody knows that the pope and his posse at the Vatican live surrounded by ornate and priceless treasures amid ancient buildings designed and... More >> |
