Minneapolis est une ville profondément engagée dans les arts, avec des valeurs fondamentales qui célèbrent la créativité, la diversité et la communauté. Cette visite à pied au cœur de Minneapolis allie parfaitement arts et vie urbaine. Nous parcourrons le Nicollet Mall, une vitrine d'art public qui transforme le cœur du centre-ville en une galerie à ciel ouvert. Ce corridor d'un kilomètre et demi présente une diversité de sculptures et d'installations reflétant la culture et l'histoire de la ville. Nous découvrirons un mélange de bâtiments remarquables, historiques et modernes, qui contribuent tous au caractère unique du centre-ville. La Loring Greenway nous mènera au Loring Park, où se trouvent des jeux d'eau vibrants, des pavillons et des sculptures en bronze, abstraites et fantaisistes. Ensuite, direction le Minneapolis Sculpture Garden, adjacent au Walker Art Center, qui présente plus de 40 sculptures sur 4,5 hectares ! L'inspiration est omniprésente !
