The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB) and City of Minneapolis recently redesigned interactive online map tours that make it easy and fun to explore hundreds of artworks located on public land in Minneapolis.
More than 28,000 people visited the Minneapolis Public Art Tour Maps since they debuted in 2017. These tours have been updated with new artworks completed over the last five years and redesigned for a more intuitive and enjoyable experience! There are now seven curated tours and geographic guides of public art in Minneapolis are available and free for anyone to use.
How to Use the Public Art Tours
The tours are available at the Minneapolis Public Art Collections website. It’s also accessible by typing the short link bit.ly/mpls-art or minneapolisparks.org/artmaps into a web browser.
The website includes information about artwork across the city divided into five areas as well as two curated tours of art in the new Public Service Building and along Nicollet Mall. Choose your own adventure or follow a curated tour. Each option includes artwork details, artist information, photos, maps, and directions.
New features allow users to select a point on a map or an image in the gallery to learn more about a specific artwork and switch between tours by selecting a tour tab at the top of the page.
