Art in Bloom
Experience the museum as it comes alive during our Art in Bloom!
This year, we’re going inside-out with our celebration of art and nature. From May 23–27, explore breathtaking floral installations inside the museum. You’ll experience stunning in-gallery floral designs inspired by indoor artworks, alongside vibrant container gardens that echo outdoor sculptures.
Then, hit the trails to discover six outdoor designs, offering inspiration for your own summer creations. The outdoor displays will remain on view until June 8 in celebration of Garden Week. These artful arrangements highlight texture, color, shape, and beauty, bringing the museum and trails to life.
This program is free and open to the public—don’t miss this celebration of art and nature!
Free, no tickets required.
