Rooftop ArtPark
Explore nature and art together in Rooftop ArtPark!
Open Memorial Day through early fall
Visit Rooftop ArtPark, one of the few galleries in Minnesota where nature and art merge in an immersive outdoor gallery located on the fourth floor of the Museum's roof overlooking downtown St. Paul. Every stroke of a paintbrush in a glass studio program or picture inspired by the colors of the fall leaves is a child's way of creatively processing their experiences and sharing them with others.
Gallery activities include:
- Dipping your hands into the stream bed's cool water
- Scampering up the 12-foot tree fort
- Dancing under the shadow dome, mimicking the shadows, shapes and movement of trees and plants
