Art Deco is the term given to the "modern" style of decorative arts of the 1920's and 30s. New advances in technology and industrialization had opened up a realm of possibilities in both materials and construction. Architects and designers embraced the new era by designing soaring and technologically advanced buildings which celebrated the new technology and materials. Downtown Minneapolis has a fine selection of buildings from this period which have survived to this day. Join this walking tour from the riverfront Main Post Office to the Foshay Tower to explore Minneapolis' rich cultural and architectural heritage of the 1920s and 30s.
