Arts and Culture.

AtoZ.Art to Z

From storytellers steeped in the oral tradition to pianists performing aural masterpieces, you’ll find your aesthetic at the U this fall. Discover arts and culture in a myriad of forms along with a complete listing of events. (That's also where you'll discover how Andalusia relates to flamenco and vanilla to global warming. More or less.)

A world-class arts museum on the East Bank, a hub for music, dance, theater, and music on the West Bank, a floating theater in St. Paul on the Mississippi River...

Each year about 150,000 people walk through the doors of the University of Minnesota’s Weisman Art Museum, and more than 160,000 people visit the West Bank Arts Quarter for events, such as the School of Music’s free faculty and student concerts and recitals. In the summer, the Minnesota Centennial Showboat, with its melodramas a la 19th century, typically draws about 15,000 people.

And if that wasn’t enough, the University of Minnesota also has one of the country's largest public art programs—with more than three-dozen inventive pieces scattered across the Twin Cities campus.
