Venue Setting

Dramatic, vibrant, awe-inspiring. The Minneapolis Institute of Art is the epicenter of art in the Upper Midwest and a showcase for more than 100,000 objects representing a vast range of artistic disciplines, eras and cultures. The original building, opened in 1915, retains the authentic grandeur and patina of its time, while a new wing designed by world-renowned architect Michael Graves presents a more modern aesthetic. This stately landmark offers an array of interesting spaces, including expansive, airy corridors filled with wall-to-wall artifacts and world-famous works of arts—making it a perfect setting for sophisticated receptions.

The Minneapolis Institute of Art is also a remarkable and romantic setting for your wedding day. Located just six blocks from downtown Minneapolis, the MIA occupies a landmark building with breathtaking views of the skyline and city parks, making it a central location for all of your out of town guests and a convenient treat for those that live nearby. A mix of modern and traditional spaces, the Minneapolis Institute of Art has one of the finest, wide-ranging art collections in the world and offers you and your guests a wedding reception space that is truly one-of-a-kind. Dine and dance the night away surrounded by Rembrandt and Van Gogh. Your wedding is certain to be a masterpiece.
