COLUMBIA, MO. -- It was the Sixth Annual Art in Bloom flower festival at the Museum of Art and Archaeology on the University of Missouri campus Saturday.

The exhibit features 10 mid-Missouri florists who chose a piece of artwork in the museum to interpret with flowers and greenery.

Last year about 1,500 people viewed the exhibit, and organizers are expecting a similar turn out for this year.

The Art in Bloom exhibit will be open Sunday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the museum near the corner of Ninth Street and University. The museum and event is open to the public and free of charge
