The Minnesota Museum of American Art (the M) has a long and storied history as one of the oldest visual arts organizations in Minnesota, back to its first iteration in 1894. Through many twists and turns, it has evolved and changed with the times. It is located in the historic Pioneer Endicott Building, and it has emerged as one of the best museums in the state. It has focused on diversity and art as rooted in environment and society. To that end, in recent years, they have sponsored 1.5: A Southeast Asian Diaspora Remix, Black Art in the Era of Protest: A Virtual Conversation, and History is Not Here: Art and the Arab Imaginary. They also have rental spaces and online events.
