Claes Oldenburg (Coosje van Bruggen)’s iconic sculpture “Spoon Bridge” appears on nearly every piece of tourism advertising for Minneapolis. The piece, along with many others, is housed in a sculpture garden at the Walker Art Center. The Walker not only contains three floors of modern art galleries, but also a cinema, stage, family exploration area, family rest area (for overstimulated children to unwind), along with the requisite museum shop. First Saturdays are free, though you still need to pay for parking. Sculpture garden is open to the public.
