Every first Saturday is free don’t forget to double check your email for a confirmation and download it to the mobile app. Luckily they were able to look me up by my email and name. Brought my twins here they’re two years old they had a lot of good kid activities making beads coloring finding the goose. I really enjoyed the orange room. This was my first time there I would not pay for this museum as the art wasn’t really that interesting but the kids had fun
We were a bit pressed for time, and didn’t pay the $18 admission, instead we enjoyed the outdoor sculptures across the street from the museum. We did visit the gift shop in the museum, and it was interesting. I will definitely visit again, and spend more time exploring.
We visited on a free Thursday night and had a great experience! The contemporary collection is impressive, with a diverse range of thought-provoking works. Since we visited in February, the rooftop was closed, and it was too cold to explore the sculpture garden, but I’m looking forward to returning in the summer to see more. I would recommend it for art lovers for sure!
Very impressive collection of art, I think. Was nice to be outside, and they do a good job of blending it within the landscape. Found it odd they didn’t want people to even touch the art. There was a kid that dared to climb on the cherry 🍒 spoon 🥄. A voice came over the loud speakers saying they were security, they were watching, and they would be dealt with accordingly if they didn’t discontinue their behavior immediately. It’s very dystopian if you ask me. Nobody asked me, so I didn’t say it, but you better believe I’m gonna type it in this here Google Maps review. Cause I keep it 💯. Real talk . Yuh, feel me. Had my rating at a 5, but I’m gonna drop it to a 4 because of the incident over the load speakers. I didn’t really realize how ridiculous and unnecessary that was until I started typing out this review. Other than that, it was pretty cool, and overall, a worthwhile experience. If they’re that worried about it, maybe have someone walk the grounds and interact with people instead of a dehumanizing robot voice over a load speaker. I didn’t go inside, me and the fam just walked the outside sculpture garden. Hope this doesn’t come off as being too negative cause it wasn’t. Just a slight critique on the garden and kind of society as a whole.You can miss me with that whole disconnected, dehumanizing, dystopia stuff. All in on the rest.
I love photographing at the Walker Art Center! I’ve photographed there for vow renewals as well as with full wedding parties and the place is magical. The Skyline room is perfect for a ceremony or reception and the Minneapolis sculpture garden, just steps away, is stunning. As an added benefit, you have Loring Park just across the road for even more photographic opportunities! I love photographing there and look forward to being there again soon!
I have been to WAC before but the beautiful thing about art museums like this is they change exhibits. I enjoyed the interactive exhibit where you were invited to draw what home is to you.
Beautiful building and grounds. I love to start at the top floor and work my way down to the lobby. Highly recommend visiting in summer when you can walk the sculpture grounds!
Great contemporary art museum! I visited for the first time during the Keith Haring exhibition and it was awesome. The museum is very spacious with several galleries. It’s a clean, modern and inviting space. It’s also pretty easily accessible with an elevator spanning all floors. I definitely will be back for future exhibitions and to try out the mini golf they have on the rooftop!
