This October the Minneapolis Institute of Arts (MIA) will present its 25th annual Antiques Show and Sale. This sale is the leading antiques show of its kind in the upper Midwest. Featuring forty nationally renowned dealers, the exhibition offers a broad array of objects for purchase ranging from eighteenth-century English silver and nineteenth-century American folk art to twentieth-century Modernist design and everything in-between.

The show will also feature lectures, dealer talks, and tours for experienced and beginning collectors.

The MIA’s Decorative Arts Curatorial Council held its first show and sale in 1984. During the past twenty-five years the show has raised more than $1.5 million for the purchase of works of art for the museum’s department of Architecture, Design, Decorative Arts, Craft and Sculpture.
