For private events, the museum opens its gallery floors, the Grand Staircase, the glass-enclosed Crystal lobby, and an outdoor garden to guests. Events ranging from wedding ceremonies and receptions to corporate gatherings and social celebrations find a home here, with the art collection as a living backdrop. All event guests receive complimentary gallery access during their visit. Wedding couples also receive a one-year museum membership at no additional cost.
