Nimbus, by Tristan Al-Haddad, is a weathering-steel sculpture built like an airplane wing that cantilevers about 45 feet over the sidewalk and the Theater in the Round in the forecourt of the Minneapolis Central Library on Nicollet Mall. It was lifted into place by crane on December 8, 2018, and is lit at night.
