Pictures
from May 2005
Between
South Second Street and West River Parkway, west of the Mill
City Museum
Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States
Architect: Jean Nouvel
Projected Completion: 2006
The
people of Minneapolis not only have one of the greatest contemporary
art museums at the Walker Art Center (recently expanded by
Herzog and de Meuron) but also have one of the great regional
theatres in the country. The Guthrie Theatre is moving out
of the shadows of the Walker (literally- it was located next
door to the museum) to a brand new riverfront location. Perched
atop the hill next to the old industrial mills, Jean Nouvel's
new dark blue Guthrie conspicuously hangs over the West River
Parkway yet somehow manages to look like it belongs.
