REGIONS: SOUTHERN Winona Lake EXTEND YOUR TRIP While you’re in Winona, be sure to visit the Minnesota Marine Art Museum , a gorgeous building next to the Mississippi River with stunning wildfl ower gardens and an incredible collection of art inspired by water, including masterpieces by world-famous artists. A temporary exhibit when I visited featured a chair from the Titanic with handwritten letters from a survivor. Also on temporary display were fascinating underwater photographs of alligators, sharks and whales by 2014 Wildlife Photographer of the Year Christian Vizl. What I loved most, though, was the room with paintings by Picasso, Matisse, Renoir, Degas, Monet and Van Gogh, all part of the museum’s permanent collection. I highly recommend this museum, which also has a very cute gift shop with Minnesota-themed items. VAN GOGH & CO.
