Minneapolis visit

Many of you may of heard that I went on a trip to Minneapolis Minnesota on a business trip and stayed a couple of days to check out the city. The business part was to attend the BEST 1 conference on building envelope science and technology. I heard some great speakers and attended some interesting sessions. There were also a lot of sessions with little or no interest and very poor presentation skills. It was worth it and I got some very interesting elements out of it.

Below are some pictures of the city of Minneapolis and my trip:

I thought that the Minneapolis institute of art was a much greater value than the Walker art museum and a better show all together. The museum was packed with historic and cultural artifacts as well as transformative works over the years. The Walker Museum of Art was just modern works and all very transitional. They have a feeling of being famous and notorious as apposed to beautiful or meaningful. That was my impression anyways. I would defenitely spend a day at MIA and the Walker was worth the visit because of the sculpture garden outside.

Thanks,
