The Walker Art Center is known for contemporary art. Its collection includes works by Warhol, Rauschenberg, and Yayoi Kusama, and it regularly hosts exhibitions on design, film and video, and performing arts. The building was designed by Barnes, and the expansion was done by Herzog & de Meuron. The rooftop terrace offers views of the Sculpture Garden and the skyline. Adult admission is about $20.
