Historic Nicollet Mall Sculpture Clock: Conservation
To hire a qualified conservator to restore a significant object in the city's collections.
The grant contributed to funds for the conservation treatment of the Historic Nicollet Mall Sculpture Clock. This unique timepiece includes a large Street Clock and a Kinetic Sculpture. The Nicollet Mall Sculpture Clock, which was installed in 1968, is the last remaining element of the respected 1960's historic design for Nicollet Mall by Lawrence Halprin. This timepiece and artwork are unique and distinctive and a well-known and beloved landmark. Over the past 48 years, the clock was kept in continuous operation. The kinetic sculpture operated from 1968 until 2002.
