The newly-expanded Walker Art Center is a world-class cultural mecca - there's no denying that. But apart from its wonderful monthly Free First Saturday events and Arty Pants Playdates , the museum is probably best enjoyed with older kids , particularly teens. Parents of toddlers and preschoolers may find the modern art on exhibit here a little too approachable: A visit to the spacious... more

Location, location, location ... it's hard to think of a better one in Minneapolis than the site of the Sculpture Garden , bridging as it does the area between Uptown and downtown Minneapolis, with Loring Park and the Walker Art Center (which maintains the site jointly with the city parks department ) just across the street. Whether you enter the sculpture garden from the Walker side, or by... more

Founded in 1879, this is one of the country's finest contemporary art museums. At the center of Twin Cities' cultural life, the Walker is willing to take risks and is quick to book highly regarded traveling exhibitions. The museum's large collection of paintings, sculptures, prints, drawings and multimedia works are displayed in nine all-white galleries. The bland but spacious galleries allow... more

Editorial Reviews from the web

This destination museum is known for its exhibits and its own collection of famous works of modern art.

In Short The Walker has always been a must-see spot for modern art lovers, both because of its design and the exhibits it offers. The building's angular, shimmering facade, designed by prize-winning Swiss architects Herzon & de Meuron, works with the city's fickle natural light, establishing a shining landmark year-round. The growing collection of big names (Andy Warhol, etc.) are on... more

Maybe I don't have an appreciation for modern art, but is putting a toilet brush along with a mannequin hand and a sign that says "no children allowed" in a display case really art? There really was nothing there that made me contemplate it. At one point, there was an exhibit where an artist had used a black... more

We Minnesotans don't know how lucky we are to have such a great modern art museum.
The restaurant 20.21 is wonderful as well!
