Minne, the fiberglass creature that has bounced from one Minneapolis lake to another as a summertime adornment, has been getting too much hands-on love from admirers lately and was pulled Wednesday from Lake Calhoun.
The Loch Ness monster-like sculpture was removed because numerous people were making their way to Minne on paddleboards and climbing on its back and up the long neck of the 13-foot-tall piece of artwork.
Several photos posted Wednesday on Minne’s Twitter account, @LakeCreature, show people clambering all over the sculpture.
The abrupt drylanding of Minne was “out of concern over damage and for the safety of both Minne and Minneapolitans,” said Janette Law, director of external relations for the Minneapolis Parks Foundation, which helps financially support the city’s Park and Recreation Board.
