Tour the Art Center or visit the famous giant cherry on the spoon in the sculpture garden.

Established in 1927, the Walker Art Center began as the first public art gallery in the Upper Midwest. Today, the Walker is recognized internationally as a singular model of a multidisciplinary arts organization and as a national leader for its innovative approaches to audience engagement. The adjacent Sculpture Garden houses one of the nation's largest urban sculpture parks. The Garden's centerpiece and most popular work is Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen's Spoonbridge and Cherry (1985-1988), which has become a beloved symbol of the Twin Cities.

Venture into downtown Minneapolis and see the sculpture gardens! Fun and FREE! Make sure to check out the bridge that goes over the freeway and view the Basillica, where Leah's grandparents were married.
