A sunlit museum classroom installed with few works of art has a wall of angled windows with a majestic view onto the horizon.

Join us in the Art Study Center for First/Hand Fridays. First/Hand Fridays take place on the first Friday of each month. In these specially designed sessions for students, you can experience art firsthand. Get up close and personal with works you can’t see in the galleries, chat with our staff about objects they love, and explore the many ways you can engage with our collections—whether for a class or just for fun.

Students are free to drop by anytime during the session. Just be sure you sign in at the Art Study Center reception desk on Level 4, and be prepared to show your HUID.
