What an incredable collection! |

We loved seeing art that we studied in school! |

I love going to the MIA on Sundays to listen to the live music. After walking around all the amazing art I enjoyed a wonderful brunch in D'Amico & Sons. The I shopped in the Gift Shop. |

Wow what an amazing collection! I think one could spend days there and still not truly see everything. I especially enjoyed the Japanese and Chinese exhibits including the tea ceremony. I also found the audio tour with the quick stop feature interesting |

My 3 1/2 year old daughter thoroughly enjoyed herself. She enjoys looking at art books, and to see some of the works in person and to be in a real museum were great connectors for her. She mentions different things she saw in the museum throughout her day as something brings a memory to mind. She couldn't wait to go home and do some more of her own art after seeing the works that students had made (the previous summer we replicated paintings we saw in art books). When she was about 18 months Target had put out a brochure in the Star Trib Sunday paper feature pop outs of works from the MIA- it was fun for her to pull it out again, now that she saw some of the works for herself. She also enjoyed listening to the audio guide of works that stood out to her- particularly the painting of a storm. Thanks for making this available to her! |

This is the second time my husband, myself, and our foreign exchange student visited this location and we took my brother and my sister in law with us today. My brother, who "doesn't like art" was fascinated with the place. Thanks for the program; keep it up! |

There is nothing better than to open my mind up to different and exciting things in the art world. It is the best way to see the world without leaving Minneapolis. |

I went with a girlfriend on a class project. It was very interesting and enjoyable to see all that the MIA had to offer. I do plan to bring my family in the very near future. The Arts were beautiful and intriquing. Keep up the good work. |
