“A true virtual social, a history lesson and a chance to have cocktails with fun folks. Programs like this are one of the few things that should be viral.”

A sanctuary of art, expression, and deliverance. As a student, I feel as if I have just discovered a small hide-away to think and observe. Thank you for this wonderful museum!
