Third Thursdays

Soak up the enchanting atmosphere of the Museum at night. This lively, social evening features music, creative collaborators, a cash bar, playful gallery activities, and hands-on art making. Hungry? Café G will be open for snacks, dinner, and drinks.

Inspired by our Henry James and American Painting exhibition, Third Thursday: Passages is all about the influence of travel on who we are and how we see the world. We’re focusing on how travel shapes and expands our worldviews, like it did for Henry James and Isabella Stewart Gardner.

In the Courtyard, the trio Chorobop performs Brazilian Choro music, with influences of bebop and contemporary. 

Prepare a five-minute story about travel. Speak of adventures in a different time zone (or at least a different zip code!). Hear stories of fresh perspectives - New Jersey to Nepal, anywhere but home.
