    Not only is the museum known for its rich history and art collections, but its events team is incredible. Their team of expert event leads have helped my clients create their perfect day with ease and grace. Every person we worked with (from Sales Directors to day-of managers) were professional, energetic and kind. They are so diligent in making sure there are no hiccups for my clients weddings during their events. The energy we feel from the staff walking in on my clients wedding days are so joyous. We are all so incredibly happy with this historic, beautiful venue. The venue is stunning and Mia's team genuinely cares about each clients special day!

  • The perfect venue for your creative wedding

    Nothing is more impressive than sipping a cocktail and celebrating your marriage with friends and family while you are surrounded by beautiful, historic, and modern pieces of art. The wow factor walking the halls to dinner will impress guests and make for STUNNING wedding day photos that you will forever cherish. On top of impressive views throughout the museum, you will be taken care of by a staff that knows how to throw good parties and collaborate with you on creative concepts to make your wedding truly unique. I HIGHLY recommend you take a look at MIA for your special day!
