The Minneapolis Institute of Arts museum building is connected to the
Childrens Theater Company by a common entryway.  The buildings are
seperate, but the CTC shares maintainence, security, fire alarms, parking,
etc. with the MIA.  The relationship works very well.  You can go to
www.artsmia.org (click on "visit") to see a building map, it does not show
the CTC on the map, but it is connected to the 3rd Ave entrance.  I can
answer general questions, but if you need very specific information call
612-870-3131 and ask for Mike Newman.  Hope this helps.
