Art + Artists

Explore Mia’s art collection from the comforts of your home. You'll find fascinating art stories and podcasts, 360-degree images and zoom views of the collection, and more to spark and nurture your creativity.

Mia’s curators are charged with caring for the collection and expanding our knowledge of the world’s artistic traditions.

Conservation often leads to new discoveries about artworks, artists’ techniques, and materials.

Mia holds its collection in public trust. As stewards of these artworks, we follow core standards set by the larger museum community to responsibly preserve, document, and exhibit them, ensuring they remain in good condition and are accessible to the public for generations to come.

As a learning institution, Mia is committed to advancing research, sharing discoveries through presentations, publications, and partnerships with our community and across the museum field.

Experience not only Mia’s vast permanent collection, but many special exhibitions from across the museum.

Most of the art is in the galleries. But sometimes the art is the galleries. Explore Mia’s destination spaces.
