Over the past decade, Minneapolis' Mississippi River waterfront has been transformed by the creation of the Mill City Museum and the opening of the adjacent Guthrie Theater complex. The Mill City Museum, focusing on the city's industrial history and built inside the ruins of the nineteenth century Washburn flour mills, is an outstanding example of adaptive re-use of an historic structure. Tour participants will enjoy a private presentation from one of the Meyer, Scherer, Rockcastle architects who designed the museum. Jean Nouvel's exciting new Guthrie Theater building includes multiple performance spaces, along with one of the city's best panoramic views; our guided visit will give participants a 'behind the scenes' backstage look at production facilities and design shops.
