Museum Industry Open House

What Does It Say to You? is an special exhibition that presents objects from the Spertus collection and invites visitors to share their impressions and interpretations. On the second Thursday of every month, join Spertus Museum staff and a line-up of Jewish community leaders and scholars, artists, performers, museum professionals and more, to explore the ways we experience objects and the roles they play in our lives.

In conjunction with the College Art Associations Annual Conference (being held this year in Chicago), please join us for tours and viewing of What Does It Say to You? and the Open Depot. Join museum professionals, art historians, and scholars for a light reception, conversation, and a chance to explore and respond to the Spertus Museum collections.

7 | $5 for students and seniors | free for CAA members, Spertus members, and students.
