    Allen Brewer re-interprets artworks through written descriptions in latest exhibition

    By Sheila Regan | Mon, April 29, 2013

    Upon arriving at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts' MAEP galleries, a group of young women squeal as they discover that two of them are actually a part of the new exhibit. For the show, titled "Ve... More »

    Art in Bloom

    By Jessica Armbruster | Wed, April 24, 2013

    Now celebrating its 30th anniversary, Art in Bloom invites floral artists to interpret pieces from the museum's permanent collection through flowers. This year's event will feature over 150 displays scattered throughout the galleries. Over the... More »

    Minneapolis Instute of Arts explores "truthiness"

    By Sheila Regan | Fri, March 22, 2013

    In 2009, one-hundred years after Sigmund Freud first came to the United States and strolled around the amusement parks of Coney Island, multimedia artist Zoe Beloff erected an installation at the Cone... More »

    Dress Rehearsal at the MIA celebrates the yin-yang of style with Emma Berg

    By Tatiana Craine | Wed, March 13, 2013

    Yin-yang was the concept running throughout the looks presented at the third-annual Dress Rehearsal, hosted by the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. It permeated the event with a runway collection of vin... More »

  • 2013 | Best Place to Do Something for Free

    They say that the best things in life are free. Finding those free things, however, can sometimes be a challenge. Thankfully, the Minneapolis Institute of Arts offers plenty of enjoyable free events throughout the year (in addition to being a space that has free admission!). Of all of its regular happenings, Third Thursdays is always a safe bet for fun. Each monthly installment celebrates something going on in the Twin Cities or complements a current show at the museum. Past Third Thursday... More »

  • 2013 | Best Make-Out Spot

    Every artist finds inspiration in something, and most of them undoubtedly had a muse or two. Why not take your own muse to one of the most romantic places in the Twin Cities, the Minneapolis Institute of Arts? Take some time to gaze at modern art, classical sculptures, and everything in between while you've got your guy or gal's hand in yours. When the time is right, drop a clever comment about the artwork, and make your move. Share your love for Minneapolis (and each other) with a kiss in... More »

  • 2013 | Best Museum

    Minnesotans love a bargain, even in the arts. With the exception of special exhibits, the halls at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts are always free. Have a few minutes to kill before a Children's Theatre Company show, or just looking for a bit of calm on a busy afternoon? You can check out one (or more) of the museum's collection of classics, from Van Gogh to Monet to Picasso, or perhaps delve into examples of 5,000 years of Asian art. If you are willing to pony up a bit of cash (or join... More »

  • 2013 | Best Museum Exhibition

    The name "Rembrandt" has become symbolic of great artistry, in the way that "Einstein" has come to represent high intelligence or that "Shakespeare" is the epitome of writing. If you were fortunate enough to catch the stunning "Rembrandt in America" exhibit at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts last summer -- and more than 100,000 people did -- you now have a thorough understanding of why that is. The show was billed as the largest collection of Rembrandt paintings ever assembled in... More »

  • 2012 | Best View

    The Minneapolis Institute of Arts is filled with amazing things to see, but one of the museum's prettiest pictures isn't inside its walls but outside. On your next visit, venture up to the top floor and walk to the far north end. There you'll find an enormous glass window framing the city's best view of the modest but magnificent Minneapolis skyline. The buildings rise impressively above the trees of Washburn Fair Oaks Park across the street (lush and green in summer, snow-covered in... More »

  • 2010 | BEST SIGN OF SPRING

    For 27 years the Minneapolis Institute of Arts has brought springtime indoors with Art in Bloom, a museum-wide celebration of natural beauty and human ingenuity. The free four-day festival features 100 floral artists given a unique opportunity to design colorful and fragrant displays in response to the Institute's extensive collection. This year's festival takes place April 29 through May 2 and includes lectures, luncheons, and family events. Sure, the flowers will be blooming outdoors (so... More »

  • 2010 | BEST MUSEUM

    The Twin Cities is blessed with a glut of worthy local museums. Each boasts attractions galore, from the sprawling Science Museum of Minnesota's Omnitheater to the compact Bell's dioramas. But none caters to us half as vigorously as the mighty Minneapolis Institute of Arts. General admission is always free, and special attractions often follow suit. Take "Foot in the Door." Running through June 13, it's an open exhibition that features nearly 5,000 works by Minnesota artists. The only... More »

  • 2010 | BEST MUSEUM EXHIBITION

    The Twin Cities' splashiest big-ticket exhibit of the last year was also the best. "The Louvre and the Masterpiece" brought more than 60 works of art from the world's greatest museum to MIA in October for a three-month run. The exhibit, sparely but elegantly hung on dark-gray walls, spanned 4,000 years of visual art, from ancient Egyptian statuary to Renaissance drawings by Michelangelo and Da Vinci to 17th- and 18th-century paintings by Vermeer and Chardin. The concept behind the show may... More »

  • 2008 | BEST MUSEUM

    The Minnesota Museum of American Art is sexier than the MIA. The Children's Museum and Science Museum are more likely to hold a child's attention. The Bakken boasts one of Ben Franklin's original glass "armonicas." The Walker's crowd dresses better. We could go on about all the advantages other local museums--including the Bell with its charming dioramas--hold over the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, but who'd care? Over the course of 93 years and nearly 100,000 acquisitions,... More »

  • 2007 | BEST MUSEUM

    It's usually Walker Art Center that we hold up to coastal types to prove that the Cities aren't flyover country--or at least that we're the cultural kings of flyover country. But we think any intelligent guest would be at least as impressed by the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, another world-class art museum that's also a little more accessible, housed in a beautiful building where the marble surroundings can equal the art, and free (though certain special exhibits require admission)....

  • 2005 | BEST SINGLE-ARTIST SHOW

    This exhibit had two tales to tell: one of the mid-20th-century American painter Beauford Delaney, whose modern art style changed dramatically when he moved from New York to Paris, and the other of Sue Canterbury, assistant curator of painting and modern sculpture at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, who spent five years searching through private collections to find forgotten works by this underappreciated artist. A master of color, Delaney painted in New York during the '40s and '50s, and... More »

  • 2003 | BEST MUSEUM

    The MIA possesses the versatility, imagination, and resources to qualify as a big-league museum in a major metropolitan area. They're on the circuit for blockbuster exhibits such as the recent "Eternal Egypt" collection and the landscapes of "American Sublime"; assemble noteworthy shows such as last fall's collection of more than 70 Picasso prints (60 percent of them owned by the MIA); and can descend from the rarified airs of high culture for odd inspirational gambits such as providing...

  • 2002 | BEST MUSEUM

    Sometimes the obvious choice is the best choice. The Minneapolis Institute of Arts is the down comforter and cup of cocoa of local museums. It is the known entity, the old standby where we've spent countless hours and never left feeling unsatisfied. By now, we can all recite its charms by heart: the three floors of art history from all over the world; the Minnesota Artists Gallery showcasing some of the best local work; the marquee-quality big-ticket shows at the Target Gallery; even the...

  • 2000 | BEST MUSEUM

    After viewing a particularly fine year of cutting-edge art, we give a nod to the only museum in town that makes us feel like we're in New York City for an afternoon (and yes, that entails a gaggle of those art snobs who intimidate us). Highlights of the past 12 months, which included a wide variety of visual and multimedia art, were the Bruce Conner retrospective of films, paintings and sculptures; the world premiere of Matthew Barney's new film Cremaster 2; and the exploration of the...
