Anyone who wants to visit the museum can do so by making a free-timed ticket reservation.
The tickets will grant entry to the museum as well as the opening-weekend exhibitions Drawn to Paper and Together. These displays, which honor community, family, friends, and a connection to the natural world, were curated by AMFA.
