The M (MN Museum of American Art)

It's getting real (and so exciting)! HERE, NOW is the first major exhibition of permanent collection works in the M’s New Wing, which triple's the total gallery space and reinvigorates the M's stunning stained glass arcade. The artworks on view will call to mind interconnections—throughout our history, many stories have intertwined within the M's permanent collection. We can't wait for you to learn more! An Open House and celebration of the New Wing will take place on October 26, 2024 from 10:00 a.m.—4:00 p.m. HERE, NOW Opens October 17, 2024 mmaa.org/here-now/

Starting this Saturday, November 4, the M will be open from 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. Thursdays through Sundays! Construction in downtown St. Paul is underway, making car travel and parking challenging. Consider taking public transportation or give yourself extra driving time. For more information on transit routes that stop at the M, parking tips, and directions, go to the "Hours & Directions" link in bio.
