What is Doors Open Minneapolis?
Doors Open Minneapolis, produced by Rethos, is your chance to explore the buildings that tell our city’s story. From theaters to business hubs, sacred spaces to private clubs, sports complexes to engineering wonders, historical gems to not-even-open-yet buildings, Doors Open Minneapolis will give you a FREE behind-the-scenes look at dozens of exciting venues. Building owners and caretakers will provide unique perspectives that illustrate why these venues, people and businesses, are central to our city’s identity.
Who makes Doors Open Minneapolis happen?
Doors Open Minneapolis is produced by Minnesota-based historic preservation nonprofit, Rethos. Rethos works with communities to identify building and community-related challenges and find solid solutions. From visioning a building’s next chapter or teaching plaster repair, to telling the diverse stories associated with our buildings from early history to today, Rethos practices The New Preservation.
Doors Open Minneapolis is presented in partnership with the City of Minneapolis and many other important partners and sponsors.
