Walker Art Center

"The contemporary art center and adjacent Sculpture Garden are lovely place to visit, and a stroll around the garden includes the famous Spoonbridge and Cherry fountain in its center. The Minneapolis Sculpture Garden is free, while the Walker Art Center has ticketed entry for its galleries (~ $20 with discounts available - see https://walkerart.org/visit/). Located within the Walker Art Center is Cardamom restaurant, with cuisine influenced by the Aegean and Mediterranean seas and another one of chef Daniel Del Prado's growing culinary empire (see Martina and Sanjusan above). Tip: Located across the interstate highway is the light blue and yellow Irene Hixon Whitney Bridge, connecting the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden with Loring Park. Near the park is Minneapolis College (https://www.minneapolis.edu) and St. Mary's Basilica (https://mary.org/), as well as Café and Bar Lurcat (http://www.lurcatminneapolis.com/) and newly opened Gai Noi restaurant featuring a Laotian-based menu (https://www.gainoimpls.com/).

"You can visit the outdoor sculpture garden for free! Visit the famous cherry and spoon sculpture. Admission for the gallery varies and the Walker is closed Mondays and Tuesdays. "
