The Minneapolis Institute of Arts, as part of its 2015 centennial celebrations, is wrapping three Minnesota water towers with reproductions of popular images from its permanent collection.
Vincent van Gogh's "Olive Trees" will be found at 11066 North Av. in Chisago City's Water Tower Park through September 28.
Frank Stella's "Tahkt-I-Sulayman Variation II," will be on a tower at 4537 Williston Road in Minnetonka through Sept. 29.
And Katsushika Hokusai's "Under the Wave off Kanagawa," which has been printed on everything from fingernails to shirt collars and t-shirts is going to pop up on a water tower in New Hope where it will remain through September 30. The image above is a mock-up.
