Museum in the Streets is a unique initiative by Minneapolis' Lake Street Council, implemented in 2012 to showcase informational plaques along the city's Lake Street corridor. As the first walking tour museum in the American Midwest, the initiative spans three public walking tour areas throughout the city's Uptown, Midtown, and Lake Street areas, with 15-20 informational stops showcased along the way as part of each tour. All plaques are engraved in English and Spanish and allow visitors to meander through the neighborhoods at their own pace and learn about area history and culture. Two dozen similar projects have been implemented throughout the American Midwest in response to the project's success, though the Minneapolis version remains the only urban version of the project.
