Adult and Senior / Travel & Tours -
Senior Program 2025-2026

Arrive at the Minneapolis Institute of Art (Mia) for the annual Art in Bloom exhibit!

This beloved fundraising event, sponsored by Friends of the Institute, draws large crowds each year. Enjoy stunning floral interpretations of selected works of art from Mia’s permanent collection, created by more than 100 commercial florists and individual artists. Take in the fragrance of fresh blooms as you wander through the museum, and don’t miss the Art in Bloom Pop-up Shop featuring floral-inspired merchandise.

This is a self-guided experience, giving you time to explore the museum’s galleries, browse the Gift Store, or relax in the Café.

Founded in 1883, the Minneapolis Institute of Art continues to inspire wonder through the power of art. The museum’s world-class collection has grown from 800 works to more than 89,000 objects, spanning from 20,000 BCE to the present day and representing diverse cultures across six continents.

Mia’s seven curatorial areas include:

  • Arts of Africa & the Americas
  • Contemporary Art
  • Decorative Arts, Textiles & Sculpture
  • Asian Art
  • Paintings
  • Photography & New Media
  • Prints & Drawings

Come experience the artistry, fragrance, and beauty that make Art in Bloom one of Minnesota’s most celebrated spring traditions!
