Minneapolis is a city deeply committed to the arts, with a set of core values that celebrates creativity, diversity, and community. This walking tour through the heart of Minneapolis is a perfect blend of the arts and urban life. We'll walk the length of Nicollet Mall, a showcase of public art that transforms the heart of downtown into an open-air gallery. This mile-long corridor features a diverse range of sculptures and installations that reflect the city’s culture and history. We'll encounter a mix of notable buildings both historic and modern, all contributing to the unique character of downtown. The Loring Greenway will take us to Loring Park where vibrant water features, pavilions, and bronze, abstract & whimsical sculptures reside. Then, on to the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden, which sits adjacent to the Walker Art Center and features over 40 sculptures across 11 acres! Inspiration is all around!

Thinking of gifting the Minneapolis Walking Art Tour!

Hey everyone! I’m considering this Walking Art Tour in downtown Minneapolis for my friend’s birthday. I love that it’s a mix of outdoor art and culture! I saw it covers Nicollet Mall and Loring Park, which are amazing spots. I’m just a bit worried about how much walking is involved. Has anyone done it? What did you think?

Exploring Minneapolis through art – Loved the tour!

Just got back from the Minneapolis Walking Art Tour, and wow, it was incredible! The sculptures are so unique, and I loved the vibe at the Sculpture Garden. We started at Nicollet Mall and ended at Loring Park. The walk was a breeze, and the metro pass included was super helpful! I’d recommend it to anyone who loves art or just wants to explore the city.
