Celebrate the opening of our new heritage garden on the rooftop of the Museum! Learn more about the formation of the garden that features donated seeds and plants from local Arab American community members, highlighted along with stories of their homelands. Paired with this special celebration is also the opening of Almigdad Aldikhaiiry’s new solo exhibition, كینونة – Existence.
