When the Minneapolis Institute of Arts (MIA) underwent a major renovation and expansion, it turned to Larsen for signage that would help tie together architecturally disparate spaces.
Highlights
- Larsen began developing a wayfinding system for the Minneapolis Institute of Arts (MIA) a dozen years ago
- Reinvented space included a new wing designed by Michael Graves & Associates and 34 new galleries
- Challenge to merge the original neoclassical 1915 building with the stark minimalism of Kenzo Tange's 1974 addition and Graves's postmodern 2006 wing
- Consistent signage conveyed an unspoken message: the MIA is aesthetically diverse, but seamlessly united
