The Minneapolis Sculpture Garden is now closed for a reconstruction project that will rebuild its failing infrastructure, breathing new life into the beloved Minnesota cultural institution.
The project includes the complete reconstruction of deteriorated and inadequate infrastructure such as irrigation, drainage and stormwater systems and other physical assets. The upgrades will also increase accessibility with new walkways and a larger bathroom facility and improve energy efficiency by converting Cowles Conservatory into an open air pavilion. Work is expected to take about a year, with a grand reopening planned summer 2017.
The Sculpture Garden will remain closed until the project is completed. For more information visit the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden Reconstruction project page.
