The Walker’s internationally acclaimed collection of modern and contemporary art, which grows each year through new acquisitions, includes more than 11,000 works.
When this world-renown modern art museum got a makeover and building addition in 2005, some said a southbound view of the exterior–with its own glowing skin–looked like a giant robot monkey face. Others saw the man on the moon.
But whatever anyone saw, the new exterior clearly spoke to the marvels of the interior: Everyone would see something different in the architecture and the contemporary and often times conversation-starting art–by artists like Matthey Barney, Jasper Johns, Josephy Bueys and Marcel Duchamp, just to name a few.
The interior is minimalist and spacious, designed with exploration in mind. Permanent and traveling exhibits connect through cavernous, clean rooms, where art is the focus. And numerous dance and film exhibits make it a well-rounded adventure into a world focused on questioning art and reality.
