About the Event
Begin your Sunday with conversation and an in-depth curator’s tour before the museum opens to the public. Morning at the Museum offers a quieter, more intimate way to experience the ideas and objects at the heart of an exhibition.
Join Joe D. Horse Capture, Vice President of Native Collections and Ahmanson Curator, for a guided exploration of Creative Continuities: Family, Pride, and Community in Native Art. Featuring works from the Autry’s Native American collections, the exhibition considers how cultural knowledge, artistic practice, and tradition are carried across generations. Learn how three contemporary Plains artists worked with objects created by their Ancestors to explore the interconnected ideas of Knowing, Create, and Transference.
A light coffee reception will be offered from 9 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. The curator’s tour will begin at 9:30 a.m. and conclude at approximately 10:30 a.m.
Museum admission is included, and participants are welcome to continue exploring the Autry at their own pace after the museum
