View Details +
An indoor event space with a large staircase leading down to a lower level. People are on both levels, with some on the upper balcony, clapping and using their phones. A large white hanging sculpture is in the middle of the space. The wall to the right has a projection of colorful, cartoon-like animal faces. The lower level has a crowd of people and some musical instruments, suggesting a gathering or performance. The space is well-lit with warm lighting along the staircase.

Experience the museum after hours.

A group of people gathered in an art gallery or museum, listening to a person who is speaking into a microphone. The speaker is wearing a dark blue shirt and a name tag. The attendees are standing around, some with their arms crossed, looking at the speaker or the artworks on the walls. Several framed artworks are visible, including a colorful painting and a monochrome piece. The setting suggests an art tour or gallery talk.

Hear from artists and curators.
