Know Before You Go

  • Hours: 5pm-8pm.

Tips & Advice

  • Make your own luminary early on, so it can join the others lighting up the courtyard and sculpture garden as night falls.
  • Head inside the museum to see the new Winter Exhibitions before most visitors and to meet the incoming artists at their opening.
  • Bring a warm layer for the courtyard and sculpture garden, since much of the luminary-making and lighting happens outside in the evening.
  • Grab a hot chocolate and a donut while you watch the live music performance and the luminaries light up the night.

Special Events & Promotions
