For its 2015 centennial, Minneapolis' grandest museum threw a yearlong party with weekly surprises and glamorous shows. The fun continues in the museum's regular events and Third Thursday shindigs. In the galleries, visitors can settle in a comfy chair in the "Jane Austen Reading Room" and peruse books by or about the English author, or join friends in a whodunit mystery game, or even take a sock-darning class. Evening fun on the third Thursday of each month may involve sampling craft brews, playing with Legos, making DIY jewelry or posters, and grooving to music from 89.3 The Current. 2400 3rd Av. S., 1-888-642-2787, artsmia.org
