The Minneapolis Sculpture Garden is one of Minnesota's crown jewels and its centerpiece, the Spoonbridge and Cherry, has become a Minnesota icon. The Sculpture Garden is essentially a free museum in a park, uniting two of Minnesota’s most cherished resources—its greenspace and its cultural life.
After 23 years and more than 8 million visitors, the Sculpture Garden's infrastructure has deteriorated and some of its plant life has reached the end of its natural life cycle. The Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board, with the full support of the Walker Art Center, is pursuing state bonding to repair and renovate this unique state asset.
We need your help to preserve the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden for the next generation!
