Walker Art Center

Both Michel Gondry and Francis Ford Coppola came and talked at the Walker last year. They also have a great youth film club.

My name is Spoonbridge, what can I say?

i wanted to work there as a kid and now i have been working there for 20 years

A great museum! I didn’t realise it was in Minneapolis until I first started planning my trip… It’s worth spending a few hours exploring the exhibits and [free!] garden. My favorite experience at the museum was walking through the odd room/cave sculpture in the Cameron Jamie exhibit.

Sculpture doesn’t get much better than the Cherry on a Spoon fountain by Claes Oldenburg. I could picnic nearby everyday (well, maybe only occasionally in the snow). In Picnicing nearby sculpture location preferences, I’d have to say that the Spoon and Cherry is second only to the Buried Bicycle by the same artist in Parc De la Villette in Paris, France. I love the sculpture Garden at the Walker art center. It’s one of my favorites.
