Mary Tyler Moore Statue, Bronze statue at Nicollet Mall, Minneapolis, United States.
The life-size bronze sculpture depicts Mary Richards from The Mary Tyler Moore Show throwing her tam hat into the air at Nicollet Mall and 7th Street.
TV Land commissioned and installed the statue in 2002 near the location where the television series filmed its opening sequence at the former Donaldson's department store.
The statue represents Mary Richards, a single career woman who moved to Minneapolis to work at WJM-TV station, marking a shift in female representation on television.
The statue stands at 505 Nicollet Mall, two blocks from the Nicollet Mall METRO station, where visitors can take photographs throughout the day.
