Late Wednesdays: February
Join us for the next Late Wednesday, when we’ll be open until 8:00 pm. Enjoy the Museum after hours with extended access to the galleries and gift shop. Stroll through current exhibitions, pick up a unique gift, and take in the art in a more relaxed setting.
This month, we’re happy to offer a free guided tour of Hay cultura en nuestra comunidad: Ray Patlán in Chicago 1968–1975 with exhibition curator Marcela Andrade at 6:00 pm. Andrade will guide visitors through the exhibition, sharing insights into Patlan’s legacy as a pioneer in Chicago's Mexican community and a pivotal figure in the Chicano art movement and the Community Mural Movement. Register for the tour.
NMMA is committed to providing a welcoming and accessible experience for all our visitors. Check out a free sensory kit designed for guests with autism and sensory sensitivities at the reception desk. Visual descriptions of Nuestras Historias: Stories of Mexican Identity from the Permanent Collection are also available for free. These descriptions enable visitors who are blind or have low vision to experience the works in the gallery through detailed descriptions of color, composition, style, and other visual elements. Visit the reception desk, where a staff member will be glad to help you check them out. Visit our Accessibility page to learn more about our offerings.
