The Walker Art Center & Minneapolis Sculpture Garden - Minneapolis, Minnesota
Where modern art meets the urban landscape.
Located in the heart of Minneapolis, the Walker Art Center is much more than a museum: it is a statement of principles about contemporary art and its connection to the city. Internationally recognized for its bold architecture and provocative exhibitions, this cultural center invites you to reflect, explore and be surprised. But what really makes it unique is what happens outside its walls.
Next door stretches the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden, an outdoor gallery where monumental art coexists with lawns, stone paths and northern skies. The iconic spoon and cherry sculpture ("Spoonbridge and Cherry") has become a symbol of the city, but there are many more works that invite interaction, photography or just quiet contemplation.
This place has something very special: it is accessible, free and deeply inclusive. It brings together locals, students, tourists and families in a shared space where art is not enclosed, but alive. Ideal for a break with character during your stay in the city.
