Minneapolis City Guide

Sculpture gardens, skyways, and big-city art on the Jefferson Highway.

Minneapolis is all about arts and culture, with a creative energy you can feel from its museums and galleries to its murals and hidden street gems. Start at the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden, where more than 60 sculptures fill 11 scenic acres, including the famous Spoonbridge and Cherry. It's free and open year-round. Then cross the street to the Walker Art Center for more modern and contemporary art. The historic Jefferson Highway ran through the Twin Cities area, so it's an easy stop on a Minnesota road trip.
