from Minnesota Now · host Minnesota Public Radio

The rich culture and history of Minneapolis will be on full display for anyone to see this weekend with Doors Open. Seventy-five spaces across the city, many normally closed to the public, will open their doors for free for a behind-the-scenes look. From historic buildings to city maintenance facilities, the festival reveals corners of the city that most of the year are unseen. For details, MPR News host Nina Moini talked with Heidi Swank, the executive director of Rethos, which puts on the celebration.
