The Minneapolis Sculpture Garden opens this weekend. But before you go, take our photo and audio tour, and impress all your friends with how much you know about the new sculptures.

While the main attraction may be "Hahn/Cock," the giant blue rooster fashioned by the German artist Katharina Fritsch, there are plenty of other pieces to catch your attention.

If you can't get there this weekend, you can still enjoy an early look at the newcomers to the garden.
