"The Walker Art Center is one of Minneapolis’s premier art museums. It displays work from many hometown artists all the way up to bigger, more recognizable names. The Walker really is a blender for art and culture. While there, take a step outside to the 11-acre Sculpture Garden* and get a peek at the famous Cherry and Spoon sculpture. In the summer, check out the artist curated mini-golf course. *The Sculpture Garden is currently being renovated and will be back to its beautiful self in 2017." - Spyder Trap
