The plan

Leave time for the architecture as well as the stories on display.

Make it your kind of day

Give yourself time to look closely and follow what interests you. You do not need specialist knowledge to enjoy a creative outing: start with what you notice, ask questions where the setting allows and compare impressions with someone afterward. The most memorable part may be a detail you did not expect.

Before you go

Tickets release 30 days ahead; same-day tickets release at 9am Eastern. Formal photography requires a separate approved permit.
