Does this require any art history knowledge or is it beginner friendly?

Justin Willson is fantastic, highly recommend if you've seen him speak before

Heard this exhibition is incredible. Has anyone been to the museum's evening events before? How's the attendance usually?

Going opening night! Early Russian art is so underrated in galleries around here 🎨

Genuinely asking - is this gonna be packed? I hate standing around for hours just to see a few paintings

@jess.travel the evening vibes are totally different though. Smaller crowds, curated playlists, wine. It's a whole experience

@jess.travel I get what you're saying but the museum does a live presentation at these evening events that they don't do during regular hours. That's the value add.

Is anyone bringing their dog? I know the museum allows them and I'm thinking about it for my pup's first cultural experience lol

@luisflores_sa $65 to see the "live presentation" that you could probably just watch on YouTube later. Hard pass for me.
