Exhibitions & Events

We offer a variety of engaging art experiences through our exhibitions and events, which are free for everyone, always.

Exhibitions

We have three main types of exhibitions: long-term installations of the Museum's collection, short-term special exhibitions that include works of art on loan, and artwork that rotates monthly in our learning and study centers. All our exhibitions are free and open to the public.
