Minneapolis's skyline is dwarfed by a 5,800 pound (2,631 kilogram) spoon and 1,200 pound (544 kilogram) cherry resting in the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden. Called "Spoonbridge and Cherry," this sculpture, including the pond it spans, was designed for the Sculpture Garden by husband and wife team, Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen.
