Minneapolis Riverfront Then and Now, 1858 and 2008 Opening January 15, 2013
Fee: Free
Photographer Jerry Mathiason and Mill City Museum have embarked on a project to document change on the Minneapolis riverfront, selecting historic photos from the city's beginnings in the 1850s and 1860s and shooting photographs of the modern landscape from the same vantage point.
The pairs of then and now photographs reveal the dramatic changes to the city over the past 150 years, including the disappearance of St. Anthony Falls, changes in transportation, bridge collapses past and present, the growth of a small village into a major city, and continually evolving uses of the Mississippi River. The exhibit is supported by a grant from the St. Anthony Falls Heritage Board.
The exhibit is located in the museum’s central Mill Commons, and is free and open to the public during regular museum hours through May 12, 2013.
