By rizeabove / May 16, 2013 / This summer marks a major milestone for the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden because it is turning 25-years-old and continue to be one of the country’s premiere public sculpture parks. In honor of the celebration, the Walker Art Center’s New Media team created a brand new website for the garden that also functions as a fully responsive “web app.” The new site is outfitted with a GPS-capable map, audio tour, video interviews, and short snippets called “fun facts” to create an on-demand tool for exploration in the garden. One of the most exciting features is the new 25th Anniversary Audio Tour called Community Voices. Last summer they recorded interviews in the garden with community members, first-time visitors, and some local celebrities, and it’s all come together in this tour to present a fantastic audio snapshot of just how special the garden is to people. Of course, they didn’t neglect their desktop visitors, but the site’s focus remains on getting people to the garden. For those unable to experience it physically (or for those frigid winter months), the new website provides a browsable interface to familiar favorites and up-to-date acquisitions and commissions. Check it out.
