Background:

Doors Open Minneapolis is a weekend-long event that gives the public free, behind-the-scenes access to 115 buildings in the City of Minneapolis that are architecturally, culturally or socially significant. 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 gives visitors the opportunity to have meaningful conversations with many of the people who make these venues the marvels that they are. Doors Open is a chance to venture into new neighborhoods, learn the stories of Minneapolis’ buildings, and experience the rich and diverse cultures of our community. 

The diverse venues range from historical buildings presenting stories about the past, to the newest buildings showcasing how they are leading the city into the future. Visitors will be able to tailor their Doors Open experiences by visiting sites organized around nine different themes: Arts & Cultural, Business & Commerce, Civic, Education, Historic, Infrastructure & Sustainability, Innovation, Made in Minneapolis, and Sacred Spaces.  Venue information is available at doorsopenminneapolis.org.

The Postal Service receives no tax dollars for operating expenses and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations.
