This exhibition features photographs of sports as part of everyday life in Minnesota from the late 19th century to the present day. It includes a wide range of images of people, places, and games that capture the spirit of Minnesota sports history. Come see a panorama of the Minnesota State Fair from a time when racecar driving was in vogue; old photographs of roller derby, wrestling, and ice hockey; and pictures capturing the lively history of college and professional sports from the Gophers to the Twins, Vikings, Timberwolves, and the Wild.

Co-curated with Minnesota photographer Tom Arndt.
