In recognition of the important role museums play in their communities, CMA will encourage visitors to share their museum experiences during Art Museum Day on a special printed form available at the museum and via social media with the hashtag #ArtMuseumDay in a collective public response. Visitors are invited to enjoy a free guided tour of Marvelous Menagerie: An Ancient Roman Mosaic from Lod, Israel which opens to the public May 18. Guests can also explore CMA's Center for Creativity and the newly installed Family Gallery exhibition Making Faces as well as visiting the critically acclaimed The Radical Camera: New York’s Photo League, 1936-1951.
