Fodor's Review:

The Walker Art Center has an outstanding collection of 20th- and 21st-century American and European sculpture, prints, and photography, as well as traveling exhibits and national and international acts. Adjacent to the museum is the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden (Free), the nation's largest outdoor urban sculpture garden. The Irene Hixon Whitney Footbridge, designed by sculptor Siah Armajani, connects the arts complex to Loring Park, across I-94. The footbridge provides a clear view of the 250-foot dome of the Basilica of St. Mary (88 N. 17th St.). The exterior was completed in 1914, when the basilica celebrated its first Mass. It became the first designated basilica in the U.S. in 1926.

Cost: $8, free Thurs. evenings and 1st Sat. of month
Open: Tues., Wed., Sat., Sun. 11-5, Thurs. and Fri. 11-9; closed Mon.
