Gallery Programs
The BGC offers a diverse range of exhibition-related programs for adults, educators, students, seniors, and families, including lectures, conversations, study days, gallery talks, concerts, tours, and family days. Each program brings visitors into close contact with objects in the galleries, as they engage in lively conversation with curators, scholars, artists, educators, and other specialists in the decorative arts.
