Since March 13, Mia has been closed to the public, doing its part to slow the spread of COVID-19.
Minneapolis Institute of Art: “The first two weeks will essentially be a soft open. We’ll be asking people as they go through to survey the experience and let us know what they think, how they’re feeling and how we can enhance their visit. We want to make sure we’re getting everything right before we open up to everybody.” – Eric Bruce, Mia’s Head of Visitor Experience, talks with MinnPost‘s Pamela Espeland about our phased reopening beginning mid-July.
Plans are to reopen on Thursday, July 16. At first, Mia and other museums will be able to operate at 25 percent capacity, not to exceed 250 people in a single self-contained space.
