Conversations at Kluge-Ruhe (while our Main Galleries are closed for installation)

Kluge-Ruhe’s Main Galleries will be closed from March 4-14 for the installation of a new exhibition. During this time, we will host a series of talks in lieu of daily tours. Held Tuesday-Friday at 10:30 am and 1:30 pm, these 30-minute talks will be led by our knowledgeable gallery guides or museum staff. Topics will include specific artists, works of art in the collection, the history of Kluge-Ruhe, and other themes relating to Indigenous Australian art and culture. We encourage visitors to register but walk-ins are also welcome.
