Museums Miami Crawl & Fundraiser

PREREGISTRATION REQUIRED BY OCT 20 

Have you ever wondered how an exhibition is created, wanted to see collections that are not usually on view, or speak to a curator about what they do everyday?  Join us on Friday October 24 (9.30 AM to 3.45 PM) for an exciting day of behind-the-scenes visits of Museums Miami galleries and collections on the Oxford campus! We have room for up to 15 attendees. Transportation and a boxed lunch will be provided. There will be an option to join for part of the day rather than the full day.

We will visit: Hiestand Galleries, Hefner Museum of Natural History, RCCAM (Art Museum), McGuffey House and Museum, and the Limper Geology Museum. There is an option to also visit the Cage Gallery. 

We request a minimum donation of $50.00 per person to help cover costs and to support the Museums Miami Student Marketing and Communications Assistant position. Please only fill out this form if you are able to attend and can commit to the minimum donation. A confirmation email and request for payment will be sent once places are filled. Please contact museumsmiami@miamioh.edu if you have any questions.
