Tea Time Tranquility at the Museum

Every Thursday, September 05 – November 21, 2024, at 4:30 p.m.

Take a break from the world and savor afternoon tea at the Samek Art Museum. In the serene setting of our exhibition, Slow Looking, a different guest speaker each week will lead an informal chat with visitors on a topic related to the exhibition from surrealism to how to collect art. Come to one, two or all in the series!
