The Minneapolis Museum of Art established in 1910. Designed to be a gathering place for all people to share the Swedish experience. It includes the Swan Turnblad Mansion and the Nelson Cultural Center. Which was completed in 2012.

 

Created the Turnbald family who made their original wealth from newspaper publishing. The main mansion took five years to build. The transition from private residence to museum happened in 1929 when the family donated the house and newspaper to establish the American Institute for Swedish Arts, Literature and Science. It was later changed to the American Swedish Institute.
