Minneapolis Sculpture Garden
As it combines two of the city’s great loves – art and the great outdoors – the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden is one of its most popular spots to visit. Home to around sixty unique and unusual artworks, it can be found right next to the Walker Art Center and Loring Park, just southwest of the center.
A firm favorite with locals and tourists, it was first opened to the public in 1988 with immaculately groomed lawns and flowerbeds now coating its grounds. Scattered about are thought-provoking and imaginative sculptures of all shapes and sizes, backed by gorgeous trees and reflective ponds.
At the heart of the sprawling garden is the now iconic Spoonbridge and Cherry sculptural fountain which is almost impossible to pass without snapping a picture or two.
