Celebrate Free Family Day at Minneapolis Institute of Art on the second Sunday of each month. There’s a different theme each time!
The Minneapolis Institute of Art hosts Family Day on the second Sunday of every month. Next up, on Sunday, April 14th, check out activities centered around the theme Spring Magic.
Celebrate the magic of changing seasons at Mia! As spring arrives, look up to the clouds and get a glimpse of mythical creatures: dragons! See precious objects from Mia’s Chinese art collection that represent the evolution of dragon imagery and symbolism in “Year of the Dragon: Mystical Creatures of the Sky,” on view now through May 5. Learn the porcelain transfer process and make your own medallion necklace with the Friends of the Chinese Heritage Foundation. Create a dragon marionette with Heart of the Beast Puppet and Mask Theatre, then show off your creation in a parade through the galleries—led by a giant dragon! Search for your favorite animals on a gallery hunt of Mia’s global collection. And explore recycled and repurposed art materials with a self-guided tour in celebration of Earth Day.
