Minnesota Humanities Center

Founded in 1971, the Minnesota Humanities Center is a statewide nonprofit organization and full service event center located in Saint Paul, Minnesota. The Humanities Center offers a new way to think about our future, grounded in the humanities, and collaborates with organizations and individuals to develop programs that facilitate and frame conversations and strengthen connections. Using philosophy, literature, art, music, history, language and more —we focus on what unites us not divides us – bringing the humanities out of the scholarly institutions of yesteryear and into the lives of everyday Minnesotans. The Humanities Center is a resource for the state of Minnesota and is affiliated with the National Endowment for the Humanities.
