Minnesota has made a conscious effort to grow and promote an interest in and support for the arts.  We check out the biggest public venue, the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden.  Abstract pieces carrying weighty social messages sit beside whimsical pieces to be taken at face value as purely joyful or to provoke a deeper symbolic message.  Check out this cobalt blue rooster and the spoon bridge with cherry fountain.  I take the light interpretation, these are just Fun.
