I'm curious as to their impression of the Mill City Museum.

Default Impression

I can't say anyone was really thrilled with it. But I'm a history buff. So I am biased. My great aunt got freaked out by the Flour Tower ride. Everyone enjoys the view from the top.

I also really enjoyed Kevin Kling's narrated movie--Minneapolis in 30 minutes flat (or something like that). And regarding the museum--I mean come on, what do you expect--its a museum about the flour milling industry! But that said--I think they did a great job with it and you will come away with a better understanding as to what led to the development of Mpls!

I think the Mill City Museum has a great building. Beautiful architecture, tastefully redone, awesome views from the top floor.

The exhibits themselves are rather lame. Yes, it's flour milling. Not that interesting to begin with.
