The centerpiece of the sculpture garden is "Spoonbridge", better known as "The Cherry on the Spoon" sculpture. It has, for some reason, become a symbol of the city (as seen in the above postcard). This is probably due to Minneapolis's booming spoon, cherry, and modern art industries.
I realized the other day that if you were to remove the cherry, it's easy to see that the spoon is bent in such a way that eating your average bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios would be a major chore.
Who eats cherries with a spoon anyway? And doesn't the position of the cherry defy the laws of physics? I should also note that water sprays out of the top of the cherry stem. Totally unrealistic. It's about time someone delivered a critique to The City of Lakes's most beloved giant sculpture piece.
