Insider Series events provide private, behind-the-scenes viewings of our collections and talks in an intimate environment with scholars, experts, and Museum leadership, followed by discussion at a wine-and-cheese reception. Curator Insight Series events feature tours or talks with our curators designed to provide a deeper dive into the artifacts and history underlying an exhibition.
