Gallery Chats at OMCA

Join us for Gallery Chats, an opportunity to chat with and ask questions of our enthusiastic and knowledgeable OMCA Facilitators. Gallery Chats put a twist on the traditional museum guided experience, by encouraging meaningful conversations and fresh interpretations to connect with the artwork, artifacts, and stories in our galleries.

Gallery Chats take place every Saturday from 1 to 3 pm in our Great Hall Special Exhibitions and is included with Museum and Special Exhibition admission. No reservation necessary.

Gallery Chats also happens during Friday Nights (April-Oct) & Thursday After Hours (Jan-March) from 5:30 to 7:30pm in our Galleries of California Art, History, and Natural Science.

Occasionally Gallery Chats is hosted by an artist, curator, or other community member who will share stories about their artwork and practices during this closer look at OMCA’s galleries.

OMCA Members have access to special Member Tours every second Saturday of the month from noon to 1 pm. Please check our Events page for current Member Tours offerings.
