To keep the experience flowing smoothly, participants will be split into three groups for this station-based event. When you arrive, you'll receive a ticket with your assigned time for an exclusive, behind-the-scenes gallery tour. While waiting for your tour slot, you won't miss a beat—you'll dive straight into the workshop's creative stations.
At the stations, you will practice the art of exhibition design by building your own miniature walls and display stands to map out a unique layout. Plus, you'll channel your inner artist by crafting three original pieces of art, bringing it all together to curate and showcase your very own personalized micro-museum! Space is limited, so arrive on time to secure a ticket for this fun event!
Bags and strollers are not allowed on the tour to prevent damage to stored materials.
