11:30-12:30 am: Grab lunch at Eleven or snacks from the Coffee Bar and play on Walker Landing.

12:30-1:30 pm: Head up the North Forest for Color Field – you can interact with several of the sculptures, check the labels!

1:30 pm: Head home for naps, or stay on and explore the rest of the permanent art galleries. There are more Color Field artists to be found in the Contemporary Art Gallery.

Sunset: Head to Skyspace: The Way of Color (located on the Art Trail, past the South Lawn) at sunset to watch a light and color show like you’ve never seen, and then make your way back to the museum entrance to sit under Buckyball to witness another magical light show.

OR

If it’s Saturday: Come back at 7 pm for the Forest Concert Series + see Color Field at night! Food and drinks will be available at the food truck.
