Minnesota actually comes from the Dakota word which means “clear blue water”. It is home to a huge number of lakes thus the state has come to be named as the Land of 10,000 Lakes. Most Minnesotans are living in the Minneapolis-Saint Paul metropolitan area – or the Twin Cities – which has also become a center of business, industry, transportation, government and education. Tourism has also become a major industry in Minnesota over the years. Among the most frequented destinations are Minnesota’s North Shore Scenic Drive, Lakewalk, Gooseberry Falls State Park, Cathedral of St. Paul and the National Eagle Center. Minnesota is also home to an internationally known arts community so it isn’t surprising why it has such a vibrant art scene. Leading fine art museums in the state include the Minneapolis Institute of Art, the Frederick R. Weisman Art Museum, the Walker Art Center and the Museum of Russian Art.Top 10 Tourist Attractions in Minnesota
