After briefly reviewing the hamiltonian approach to 2+1 dimensional gravity in absence of matter on closed universes, we consider 2+1 dimensional gravity coupled to point particles in an open universe. We show that the hamiltonian structure of the theory is the result of a conjecture put forward by Polyakov in a different context. A proof is given of such a conjecture. Finally we give the exact quantization of the two particle problem in open space.
