Mia Guides are either hunkering down in Winter (most of us here in the Twin Cities ) or on the road for (hopefully) warmer climes. When we travel in the U.S. or abroad, we see what's new at local museums and cultural organizations. Here are highlights of a few current and future exhibitions, plus two compelling art book reads.
