Otherwise, if you like nature and walking around, consider the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum:

(In other words, if the weather cooperates, enjoy the outdoors... )
Excellent advice, IMO, and don't forget that Minneapolis has not only the Walker Art Center, which is the home of major modern art, but the Minneapolis Museum of Art, which has a very varied and respectable collection. The only caveat is that it requires a car or taxi from the center of things--e.g. the main downtown hotels. Also, some very nice and original cafes on Nicollet Mall.
