June 23, 2006 – The new, blue Guthrie Theater, designed by French architect Jean Nouvel, opened to the public on this date. “After more than 40 years on Vineland Place in Minneapolis,” this new theater sits on the riverfront in downtown Minneapolis.1 The nine-story structure is similar in size to the [surrounding flour] mills. It holds three stages, two restaurants and several classrooms. A cantilever bridge juts out over the river, affording expansive views of the locks and dams and St. Anthony Falls. It's believed to be the largest such public bridge in use in the world.”2
