Free admission to Besthoff Sculpture Garden on June 19
To honor Juneteenth, NOMA will offer free admission to the Sculpture Garden on Friday, June 19, during standard hours of 9:30 am to 6 pm. On this day commemorating the end of slavery in the United States, we hope the Sculpture Garden will provide an opportunity for peace and reflection. The Sculpture Garden is currently open Wednesdays through Sundays. Read more about new safety standards.
Now, more than ever, donor support plays a critical role in bringing world-class arts and culture to our community. You can help NOMA's team as they produce virtual content to keep our community connected, care for our permanent collection during the museum's closure, and prepare to reopen by making a donation online.
