MIA's first contemporary art curator leaving for Palm Springs
The Minneapolis Institute of Arts is losing one of its lead curators.
Liz Armstrong, the museum's first curator of contemporary art, is leaving to become the director of the Palm Springs Art Museum.
During her tenure the MIA acquired major works by Cindy Sherman and Robert Rauschenberg, among others.
Armstrong, who joined the MIA in 2008, also worked to juxtapose contemporary art within the MIA's more traditional exhibitions.
She will leave the MIA at the end of the month.
