Fridays at the Museum

It was truly wonderful to see so many people in Samsung Hall last Friday for the first lecture of the Fall 2023 Arts of Asia lecture series! Since the August 25 kickoff event was so successful, we have decided to continue to offer coffee, tea and cookies in Samsung Hall for the remaining 13 lectures! Refreshments will be available before the lecture and during the 10-minute break on a first come first serve basis. To help the SAA cover some of the cost, we ask that you kindly consider a modest donation of $5 per person.
