An unusual museum on the shore of Lake Calhoun devoted to the history and science of electricity, with striking displays and interactive exhibits great for kids and adults.
Located on the west shore of Lake Calhoun, the Bakken Museum is housed in a 1920s mansion designed by Carl Gage for William Goodfellow. The structure combines English Tudor, European Gothic Revival, and other architectural styles. The museum began from the collection of Earl Bakken, an engineer and the co-founder of Medtronic. Bakken had a strong interest in historical scientific instruments, and accumulated quite a library of scientific books. The museum now hosts lots of different kinds of programming, including Frankenstein's Laboratory, a 12-minute show that brings the tale of Frankenstein to life; "Ben Franklin's Electricity Party," which allows visitors to see how electricity works; as well as other fun and interactive activities. You'll want to be sure to check out the gardens, too. There's the Florence Bakken Medicinal Garden, inspired by similar European gardens; the Green Energy Art Garden; and the Dakota Native Plants Gardens, encompassing the wetlands area on the east side of the museum.
