Tucked away along one of Minneapolis' picturesque lakes, the Bakken Museum is a quirky celebration of human creativity and ingenuity with a backstory that's nearly as fascinating.
The museum is themed, quite loosely, around electricity. Exhibits include the history of electric-powered medical devices, such as prosthetics and pacemakers. Visitors can try out recreations of some of Ben Franklin's experiments with static electricity, though do heed warnings about how to avoid shocks.
