​Bringing together decommissioned public monuments alongside contemporary works, MONUMENTS captures a defining cultural shift by recontextualizing objects once rooted in public space, inviting a deeper look at the narratives they carry.

​Presented in varying states—from untouched to altered—these monuments are placed in dialogue with works by leading artists, creating a layered, immersive experience that questions how history is remembered and who gets to shape it.

​You’ll have the chance to take a deeper look at this important show during a private, guided tour led by Assistant Curator, Paula Kroll—provoking reflection, conversation, and a more personal connection to the work.

​Before the tour, join us for a refined brunch at Rappahannock Oyster Bar—connecting over a fresh, seafood-forward menu in a warm and lively setting. It’s the perfect way to ease into the afternoon and meet your fellow art-full explorers over a shared meal

​What you can look forward to:

• ​A private, curator-led experience that reveals the deeper context behind the exhibition
• ​The chance to share a thoughtfully curated afternoon with like-minded women
• ​A fully planned experience so all you have to do is show up and be present!

​This experience is for you if:

• ​You desire to have a deeper understanding of this landmark exhibit
• ​You are looking to expand your knowledge of contemporary art, with history as a backdrop
• ​You enjoy meeting new people, creating shared memories and connecting through more meaningful conversations
