The surviving State, Orpheum and Pantages theaters show how entertainment shaped this Minneapolis corridor. Their facades are close enough to compare on one walk, and murals add a present-day layer. Hennepin Avenue extends much farther through the city; the worthwhile sightseeing focus here is the compact downtown theater stretch.
What to look for
The Pantages, State and Orpheum theater facades punctuate the downtown blocks.
Murals and other public art add detail between the venues.
Useful to know
Focus a short walk on the theater blocks around 710–910 Hennepin Avenue.
Pair the facade walk with a performance if you want to see a theater interior.
