Gallery Talks

Gallery Talks

Engage directly with works of art in the galleries through talks led by curators, conservators, educators, and invited specialists. Talks focus on specific aspects of the collection or on special exhibitions. Talks depart promptly; if you arrive late, inquire at the Information Desks for directions to the tour's location.
