There is a cool sarcophagus and many Asain artifacts and big rooms with modern paintings and some recognizable Van gough. It’s an old fashioned type museum with big marble stairways and such, which I think is fun to show my kids. Unless your kids are really into art and artifacts, this museum might not be the best as a long destination. That said, walking around looking at cool stuff and then getting a cookie at the cafe is fun for my six year old. It’s free so I don’t mind if we are there for an hour or so. Combining this with Children’s theater ( in the same building) or midtown global market a few blocks away is a fun idea. This place has several food vendors and international shops selling handmade items and trinkets.

Q:
I just bought a metal goat attached to a wooden base. On the bottom of it a label says that it was an authentic replica of an original from your institute. Can you tell me anything about the original piece? I bought it at an antique mall in Kent, Ohio. I payed $12.50 for it. I love goat related items as I raised goats for many years.
A:
Maybe post this question via the "Contact Us" page on the MIA website.
Q:
Is there an app that one can use while at Mia that describes the art?
A:
Yes there is. They even have some special art to touch for the visually impaired.

New to the cities...live in Woodbury. Using public transportation, how would I get to the MIA? Thank you for your prompt reply.
A:
Check out "google transit" it does a pretty good job of routing.
Q:
How far is this museum from Mill City Museum?
