UMMA’s Re-Opening Celebration Weekend

Oct 10 + 1112:00–8:00pm

Whole Museum

After an eight-month renovation, UMMA’s Alumni Memorial Hall reopens this fall with newly restored marble floors and a renewed sense of possibility. To celebrate, we’re filling October and November with exhibitions, tours, films, conversations, and special events—plenty of reasons to stop by and see what we’ve done with the place.
