Director´s Welcome

Welcome to The Bakken Museum

One of the reasons I am so proud of The Bakken Museum is because there is nothing else like it in the world.  It is a unique place that combines...
  • A beautiful mansion and gardens in the heart of Minneapolis´ famous "Chain of Lakes"
  • A museum with electrifying exhibits and activities that are fun for kids and families
  • An education center that offers top quality hands-on programs for students and teachers
  • The world´s leading collection of books and artifacts on the history of electricity and in life

As you browse our rich website, I think you´ll see that The Bakken Museum offers something for everyone.   

But the only way to get the full Bakken experience is to see it for yourself.  Please come spend an hour or two or three exploring the mysteries of electricity with a friend or relative.  It´s an electrifying experience!  

Best Wishes,

David J. Rhees, Ph.D.
Executive Director
The Bakken Museum
