Third Thursday at Mia

On the third Thursday of the month Mia throws open its galleries after hours with a fresh theme each time, mixing artist talks and short gallery programs with live music, DJs, and hands-on art making. Themes range from Egypt's Sunken Cities to Made in Minnesota and Bike Night, so the crowd is younger and livelier than a typical lecture audience. It is free, and the museum's regular Talks series adds curator and scholar lectures throughout the year.
