The collection spans nearly 100,000 works representing 5,000 years of world history, and admission to the permanent galleries is always free. Private events at Mia unfold across versatile indoor and outdoor spaces with views of downtown Minneapolis. The Reception Hall — a maple-paneled room with a barrel-vaulted ceiling — accommodates up to 500 guests for cocktail receptions and opens alongside the marble-floored MacMillan Atrium.
