Fall Exhibition Kickoff

Descripción

Celebrate the opening of our fall exhibition, Brilliant: The Art of Beaded Footwear around the World — an exhibition spanning 400 years of history and five corners of the globe, from Indigenous North America and West Africa to South and Southeast Asia, Europe, and Western fashion. Join us for a full afternoon of family-friendly fun, with guided tours through over 85 extraordinary objects, hands-on beading crafts for all ages, and conversations with artists who have dedicated their practice to this meticulous, centuries-old art form. Discover how a single bead — fragile, painstaking, and deeply symbolic — has adorned footwear across cultures, and explore what the future of this remarkable craft might look like. A perfect day out for the whole family. Come curious, leave inspired! Please review our Terms and Conditions in advance and check in with Visitor Services upon arrival. Questions?
