We invite you to visit the Capri to learn about our history and our amazing spaces. As a community hub and cultural arts center in North Minneapolis, we offer space to create, learn, perform, and experience every form of art. We are proud to participate in Doors Open Minneapolis , inviting you to take a tour of our beautifully restored 1927 theater and our recent state-of-the-art expansion. Whether you are an architecture fan or a history seeker, this is your chance to walk the same stage where Prince performed his first solo shows! Saturday only.
