Minneapolis - University of Minnesota
The campus of the University of Minnesota lies on both banks of the Mississippi. On the east bank are the Bell Museum of Natural History and the Frederick R. Weisman Art Museum, designed by Frank Gehry, which is worth a visit for its eccentric architecture alone.
