Gallery Activation Hours

Enjoy talking about Museum exhibition themes and exploring how they relate to your life?

Gallery Activation Hours put a twist on the traditional museum tour. Using an informal approach, OMCA facilitators combine content knowledge with lived experience. Centering community voices and encouraging dialogue in our galleries provides meaningful and fresh interpretations of our Special Exhibitions.

You’re invited to connect with our enthusiastic and knowledgeable volunteer Gallery Activation facilitators and occasional special guests who will generate conversations and engagement, reimagining how we engage with the artwork, artifacts, and stories in our galleries. Gallery Activation Hours  are included with Museum and Special Exhibition admission. No reservation necessary.
