Minneapolis Sculpture Garden, Sculpture garden in Minneapolis, United States.
The Minneapolis Sculpture Garden is a sculpture garden in Minneapolis that covers roughly 11 acres and displays more than 40 permanent installations. Paths wind between the artworks, surrounded by lawns and low plantings that keep the view open to the objects.
The site served as a military parade ground in the early 20th century before the city transformed it into a park. The current form emerged in the 1980s through collaboration between the Walker Art Center and the park board.
The garden takes its name from the partnership with the Walker Art Center, which manages the collection and brings in new works. Visitors often see groups of schoolchildren drawing between the sculptures and exploring the large forms.
Entry is free and the site can be visited Wednesday through Sunday between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. The paths are level and suitable for wheelchairs and strollers, though some areas may be covered by snow in winter.
The Spoonbridge and Cherry sculpture stands roughly 9 meters tall (29 feet) and weighs around 3,200 kilograms (7,000 pounds) of aluminum. The red cherry on the spoon sprays water into the basin below on warm days.
