Join the Book Club, a docent-led two-hour experience to understand the collection in new ways and make new friends. Books are selected to connect with the museum’s galleries and specific works of art. Read the book then discuss it in a relevant gallery.
Last Saturday and Wednesday of the month, 1-3pm. Space is limited. Call 532-3621 for reservations. Free with admission.
