July 26, 2014 – July 24, 2016 | Wells Fargo CenterDowntown Minneapolis | Free Exhibition We often take electricity for granted, but in the early 20th century, it changed modern life. Most notably, mundane everyday activities took on a new excitement and efficiency through the development of electric appliances. The production of time-saving devices surged from the 1920s to the 1940s, and it was no coincidence that the industrial design profession developed alongside it

March 19, 2015 – May 1, 2016 | G363, G364, G365 | Free Exhibition „100+“ celebrates Mia’s Birthday Year with photographs from every year since the museum’s founding. With more than 12,000 images in the collection of the Department of Photography and New Media, the hard part was choosing one from each year! Some years were easier than others: 1916 offered just five works, while 1993 had 333. The resulting exhibition reveals something wonderfully idiosyncratic: freed from the narrative traditions of photographic history, yet tied to the collecting habits and tastes of Mia curators. But what about the +? The museum’s interest in photography reaches back to 1903, before this building—or Mia itself—even existed
