Anyone under 15 can always visit the museum for free. Reservations can be made with a library card up to 30 days in advance on a first-come, first-served basis—new dates are released daily at noon.

Members: check out this great opportunity coming up next week!

Designed for K-12 educators, coaches and school leaders, this session explores how arts education has historically excluded AA&NH/PI voices and how to build a more inclusive, identity-affirming curriculum across classrooms. The workshop features a live artist panel with AA&NH/PI visual and performing artists sharing their lived experiences, creative work, and perspectives on representation.
