WCCO is highlighting two of the more unique museums in the Twin Cities. They are both electrifying, but in different ways.

The Foshay Museum is open 7 days a week, except some holidays -- including Memorial Day. Admission costs $8 for adults, $5 for seniors and students, and kids under 12 get in free.

One gives you a heart-pounding view over Minneapolis, while the other generated sparks between Natalie Nyhus and Mike Augustyniak! Check out their tours of both in the video above.
