We ventured to the newly reopened Minneapolis Sculpture Garden to get up close and personal with new pieces fresh off the facelift and old favorites (we’re looking at you, Spoonbridge and Cherry). Take a virtual tour of this outdoor exhibit, and then visit the iconic Twin Cities attraction in person to see any of the 50-plus pieces yourself. You can even make a day out of it by going to the adjacent Walker Art Center or Loring Park afterward.
