01 Explore the Walker Art Center

The Walker Art Center is not your average local art gallery or museum; about 700,000 people walk through its world-class doors yearly. With a focus on contemporary art, mainly works from the 1960s and later, the Walker's collection includes well-known pieces like Edward Hopper's "Office at Night" and Andy Warhol's "16 Jackies" and frequently rotating exhibits. Live performance art is also a fixture, and there's a 25-show season every year featuring spoken word, music, dance, and theater. The museum collects avant-garde films, organizes displays on architecture and design, and curates an internationally-renowned selection of experiences within the walls of its 8-story building. Don't skip the stunning sculpture garden; look out for mini golf on the roof if you're keen on a game in a memorable setting.
