I just bought a metal goat attached to a wooden base. On the bottom of it a label says that it was an authentic replica of an original from your institute. Can you tell me anything about the original piece? I bought it at an antique mall in Kent, Ohio. I payed $12.50 for it. I love goat related items as I raised goats for many years.
A:
Maybe post this question via the "Contact Us" page on the MIA website.

Is there an app that one can use while at Mia that describes the art?

I don't know about an app, but they do have little signs next to each piece of the art work that explains each item.
