Walker Art Center: Where Contemporary Art Meets the Heart of the City

The Walker Art Center in Minneapolis is one of the most celebrated contemporary art museums in the United States -- a dynamic cultural hub where groundbreaking visual art, live performance, film, and design come together under one roof. From its roots as a lumber baron's private gallery in 1879 to its striking modern campus anchored by the beloved Minneapolis Sculpture Garden, the Walker has shaped the creative identity of the Twin Cities for well over a century. In this episode, we step inside to explore the galleries, the architecture, the iconic Spoonbridge and Cherry, and everything that makes the Walker a one-of-a-kind destination.
