Why go

It’s the first day the traditional galleries are open since the renovation, and the new Lino Tagliapietra Legacy Gallery opens with a show of the Italian maestro’s work.

What happens

The ribbon cutting is at 10:30am, with light bites and remarks from museum and local leaders and curator Susan Warner. Docent tours run throughout the day. The new gallery opens with Lino Tagliapietra: Maestro, and the traditional galleries reopen.

Good to know

Members get in free. Everyone else pays regular admission, online or at the admissions desk. The museum changed its prices for the renovation period, when adult admission has been $18.
