Review & FAQ:

The Walker Art Center is Minneapolis' premiere contemporary arts center, located within the city's Lowry Hill neighborhood. The museum was originally opened as a private art gallery in 1879 and has become one of America's most-visited contemporary art museums today, attracting an annual visitorship of more than 700,000. More than 13,000 works across a variety of media are held within the museum's permanent collections, including works by Edward Hopper and Andy Warhol, though the bulk of the museum's exhibits are presented as temporary rotating exhibitions by regional and international artists. Visitors can explore the museum and its adjacent Minneapolis Sculpture Garden for free as part of Free First Saturday events or Target Free Thursday Night events.
