General Information

This list of museums in the state was separated from List of museums in the United States on January 07, 2008. Please see List of museums in the United States for all history prior to that date.

Feel free to include Template:Infobox Museum when adding or editing articles on individual museums. Noroton (talk) 02:06, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Inclusion criteria

In February 2008 at Talk:List of museums in the United States, a consensus was reached on this statement on what kind of institutions to include on state museum-list articles:

Historic houses or halls of fame may be listed if they function as or include public museums -- see Biltmore Estate, Plumb House, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and Baseball Hall of Fame for examples. Art galleries that function primarily to sell art should not be listed, but public art museums that use "gallery" as part of their name may be listed. Nature centers and botanical gardens may be listed only if they contain historical or educational exhibits in a museum format.

Also inappropriate for this list are planetariums, aquaria and zoos, which have their own lists. Please follow these criteria when considering additional items for this list, or suggest changes at Talk:List of museums in the United States. Keep in mind there are lists for institutions similar to museums, as noted in the See also section of this article. Noroton (talk) 02:06, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

User Sanchez: Regions of MN are not being properly used in this article, for example Duluth and Two Harbors are not part of the Iron Range and the Northwest Angle is not Northweastern MN, but is only a small fraction of the state. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 170.11.30.141 (talk) 22:11, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Missing County Museums

Minnesota has 87 county historical societies - one for each county. Each county, in turn, operates one or more museums in their county. The following county historical society museums are missing from the list:

~~Mahnomen County Historical Society~~
~~Pine County Historical Society~~
~~Red Lake County Historical Society~~ <- they only run a gallery in the courthouse not a museum.

The following county historical societies have their historic house parks listed but not their research museums:

~~Chippewa County Historical Society - Swensson Farm Museum~~
~~Lake County Historical Society - Depot Museum~~
~~Pennington County Historical Society - Inga Geving Museum~~

Croft Mine Historical Park closed Permanently?

Croft Mine Historical Park is closed and currently going under reassessment for future uses one of which includes a housing development. While it might be premature to remove it, it should be watched. Myotus (talk) 15:56, 11 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
