Minneapolis Institute of Art doesn't need savings math — the ticket line is free for everyone, every open day. Budget for the rest instead: permanent collection free; special exhibitions ticketed.
Minneapolis Institute of Art doesn't need a calendar — general admission is free every day it's open, which changes how you plan compared with a free-day museum. There's no crowd spike to dodge and no reservation race. The date that matters here isn't an admission date at all: it's whichever ticketed special exhibition you might want to add, since those (permanent collection free; special exhibitions ticketed) run on their own schedules and prices.
