The Quick and the Dead, in its final weeks, expands beyond the main galleries to include works in the Walker’s public spaces and the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden. A tour of the Garden takes place at 2 pm.

Lunch is served from 11 am-2 pm in Gallery 8 Café, and from 11:30 am–2 pm in 20.21 Restaurant & Bar by Wolfgang Puck. The Walker Shop is open from 11 am–6 pm.
