The meeting was held at the Minneapolis Institute of Art (MIA) where the group received two very interesting tours. One was about the MIA website, its electronic exhibits, and a web site called ArtsConnectEd . The other tour concerned the museum itself and the way people use it (traffic flow, display cases) and had more of a human factors slant. Both tours were extremely interesting and informative. We did not convene for an all-group meeting, so no business was discussed.
