Although a few old masters can be found in the collection, the Walker concentrates on 20th-century art, especially Pop Art, with works by Warhol, Lichtenstein, Rauschenberg, and Jasper Johns in a very flexible and accessible space. The adjacent 11-acre Minneapolis Sculpture Garden is an attraction all its own (see listing immediately above).

The Walker also maintains a very active performance program, presenting music, theater, dance, films, and other events.
