There are so many photographs in the archives of the Minnesota Historical Society that you will never get to see even a fraction of them. There simply isn’t enough time in anyone’s life, and most are tucked away in storage, waiting only for someone on a research mission about fishing lore, or disappeared buildings, or fashion moments in northern climes. Now the Society has culled a few choice images from that vast collection to display at the swell “new” ruins along the Mississippi. A few of them are quintessentially Minnesotan moments, locked forever in black-and-white. Other pictures are so funny and urbane you won’t believe they were taken here. 704 Second St. S., Minneapolis; 612-341-7555
