Experience Art in Bloom at the Minneapolis Institute of Art with floral arrangements inspired by fine art and special events throughout the 4-day celebration, April 23 – 26, 2026.
With the April showers hopefully bringing May flowers, it is officially time for spring!
Spring also means it’s time for the annual Art in Bloom at the Minneapolis Institute of Art. Art in Bloom is a four-day festival of fresh floral arrangements inspired by fine art, and it takes place from April 24 – 27, 2026.
The event features the work of over 150 Pedestal Floral Artists creating imaginative floral interpretations of selected works of art from MIA’s permanent collection.
At this free event, open to the public, MIA invites you to experience the floral beauty and fragrance throughout the museum.
Here is a bit of what you can experience from daily tours to a family event.
