Lectures, Workshops & More

Lectures, films, workshops, and gallery talks for adults provide insight into our permanent collections and special exhibitions.

Historical, social and cultural topics related to the Gilded Age are explored in programs that take place in our intimate auditorium or through more casual events in the galleries or Education Center.

Free programs such as Art at Noon and Film at Noon create interesting ways to enhance an exhibition while our studio workshops provide a creative outlet for artist and beginner alike.

Upcoming Lectures
Lectures by visiting scholars, local experts and curatorial staff offer insight into the exhibitions and permanent collections of our museums. Films are selected to complement special exhibitions and are guaranteed to send you back into the galleries afterwards to see things a bit differently.
