Mary Tyler Moore Statue, Bronze statue at Nicollet Mall, Minneapolis, United States.
The Mary Tyler Moore Statue is a life-size bronze figure at Nicollet Mall depicting a moment from a classic television series. It shows a woman tossing her hat into the air with a joyful gesture.
A television broadcasting company commissioned this sculpture in 2002 to commemorate a landmark series from the 1970s. The location was chosen because the famous opening scene of the show was filmed nearby.
The statue shows Mary Richards, a single career woman who moves to the city to work at a television station in the series. This portrayal shaped how working women were seen on television during that era.
The statue is located on a public plaza in the downtown area where visitors can stop by and take photos anytime. The site is easy to reach by public transportation and within walking distance of other attractions.
The artist captured the exact movement from a famous television moment that millions watched on their screens. Visitors often recognize the pose instantly and understand right away what they are looking at.
