The Tweed Museum of Art is a museum on the campus of the University of Minnesota Duluth, in Duluth, Minnesota, United States.
The Tweed Museum of Art was established in 1950 when Alice Tweed Tuohy, widow of George P. Tweed, donated their house and an approximately 500-piece American and European art collection to the University of Minnesota Duluth to enrich the lives of the people in the academic and civic communities of the region. Following its initial operation out of the Tweed home from 1950 to 1958, a museum facility was constructed on the UMD campus in 1958, with funds donated primarily by Mrs. Tweed and her daughter, Bernice Brickson. The museum has been expanded and renovated four times between 1965 and 2008.
Today, the museum operates in a 33,000-square-foot facility with 15,000 square feet of exhibit space, and offers nine galleries to service an average of 33,000 visitors each year. Of artistic, cultural, regional and historical significance, the collection is the focus of all museum activities. It contains 15th–21st-century European, American and world art in all media by artists of regional, national and international importance, including outstanding work by artists from the Upper Midwest and Minnesota. Artists in the collection include Thomas Hart Benton, Charles Biederman, Frederick Childe Hassam, Anna Hyatt Huntington, Jean-Francois Millet, Robert Motherwell, Robert Priseman, John Henry Twachtman and Helen Turner. The Tweed contains the largest collection of paintings by the American landscape artist Gilbert Munger.The collection also features painting and illustrations about the Royal Canadian Mounted Police that were donated by the Potlatch Corp., including works by Arnold Friberg.In 2007, the museum acquired the Richard E. and Dorothy Rawlings Nelson Collection of American Indian Art, an acquisition that opened new programmatic territories. By establishing a modestly comprehensive historical canon, the Nelson collection opened the museum to build upon it by collecting contemporary American Indian arts.Beyond its region's borders, Tweed enjoys relationships with museums around the world. Artwork circulates from the Tweed collection both nationally and internationally. Recent world exhibitions featuring artwork from Tweed's collection have taken place at the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian, at the Prado in Madrid, at the Complesso del Vittoriano in Rome, and at prefectural museums throughout Japan.

Sanssouci es el nombre de un conjunto de edificios y jardines que incluyen el antiguo palacio de verano oficial de Federico II el Grande, rey de Prusia, en Potsdam, cerca de Berlín. Se trata de una de las obras cumbres del estilo Rococó, y es también notable por los numerosos templetes y pabellones diseminados por el parque que rodea el conjunto.
El Palacio de Sanssouci combina la arquitectura del siglo XVIII con una arquitectura paisajística.[2] Bajo la dirección de Georg Wenzeslaus von Knobelsdorff, se edificó entre de 1745 y 1747 un palacete de una sola planta del estilo de un “maison de plaisance” según las indicaciones del rey.[1] El edificio comprende dos alas laterales que ocupa casi toda la parte superior de la terraza. Las alas del palacio cuentan con filas de árboles en su lado norte y terminan en sendas glorietas enrejadas, decoradas con adornos dorados.
Bajo su cúpula se encuentra el Salón de Mármol oval en el que pudo celebrarse la legendaria tertulia organizada por el soberano prusiano, deseoso de compartir sus inquietudes musicales y filosóficas con invitados como Voltaire. La decoración interior es, en su mayor parten, originaria desde el siglo XVIII.[3]
Federico II residió en el Palacio habitualmente.[4] Sin embargo, después de su muerte en 1786, este se mantuvo vacío y descuidado hasta mediados del siglo XIX.
