About Gallery Activation Hour

Gallery Activation Hour (GAH) puts a twist on the traditional museum tour. Using an informal approach, our GAH Facilitators combine content knowledge with lived experience. Centering community voice and encouraging dialogue in our galleries provides meaningful and  fresh interpretations of our Special Exhibitions.
