Founded in 1879, this is one of the country's finest contemporary art museums. At the center of Twin Cities' cultural life, the Walker is willing to take risks and is quick to book highly regarded traveling exhibitions. The museum's large collection of paintings, sculptures, prints, drawings and multimedia works are displayed in nine all-white galleries. The bland but spacious galleries allow the artwork to take center stage. The permanent collection includes important works by notable artists, such as Willem de Kooning, Mark Rothko, Franz Marc, Stuart Davis, Andy Warhol, Joan Mitchell, Roy Lichtenstein, and Dan Flavin. The museum hosts innovative theater, music, dance, film, video, and performance programs, and also sponsors numerous classes, workshops and lectures. The Walker Book Shop sells a variety of gifts and museum related items. Gallery 8, the museum's cafeteria, offers inexpensive, delicious fare.
