Verso is a free multimedia publication for art lovers produced by the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, one of North America’s premier museums—now celebrating its 100th Birthday Year. A hands-on immersive experience, Verso takes you behind the scenes, inside the vaults, and even inside the art using cutting-edge technologies. You’ll hear from artists and curators about their passions and creative process, as well as from the museum’s talented staff—from security guards to crate builders to frame makers. With videos, interviews, games, and interactive storytelling, it’s the art world as you’ve never seen it before—the museum uncrated just for you.
