Kinds of Events
Spaces
Anchored by the east and west planters, the atrium is a blank slate suitable for a diverse suite of gatherings. The full space can be rented for a large gathering, or a portion of the space can be rented for a more intimate event. Additionally, the south terrace can be rented with the atrium to host your wedding ceremony outside during warmer months.
Designed to accommodate both intimate events and larger gatherings, the room can be expanded into the restaurant or café. Accommodating up to 150 guests, the space is ideal for private dinners, cocktail receptions, intimate wedding receptions, and other social gatherings and engagements.
This room features a floor-to-ceiling window wall that allows natural light in while highlighting the museum’s outdoor landscape.
The facility is ideal for corporate programs, concerts, dances, and performances. The entrance is conveniently located just off the north lobby, which can be used to host your pre- or post-performance receptions. Additionally, the location provides quick and easy covered access to the attached parking garage for the comfort of your guests.
The convenient location of the hall in the museum's lower level makes parking garage access quick and easy for your guests, and the museum's media services team can help make your program or performance planning a snap.
