This Must Be the Place: Inside the Walker's Collection

This Must Be the Place: Inside the Walker's Collection is open now at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, and it's a major exhibition that pulls from the museum's own holdings. The whole show is grounded in the many meanings and ideas of 'home,' so it's less a survey of a single period or movement and more a conversation around one theme.

What makes this one worth a look is where the work comes from. Instead of bringing in a traveling show from another city, the Walker is drawing from its own dynamic collections, which means you're seeing pieces that live here in the city. The exhibition brings together works from across the museum's holdings, so you'll find pieces that might not usually sit in the same room, all held together by that central idea of home.

Because 'home' is such a broad starting point, the show has plenty of room to move. It's not just about houses or domestic spaces; it's about the different ways people think about where they belong, where they come from, and what that word means to them. By pulling from so many different parts of the collection, the exhibition lets those different interpretations sit side by side.

You can find it at the Walker Art Center, located at 725 Vineland Place in Minneapolis. It's open now, so you can swing by whenever you've got a free afternoon.
