Sip, share and celebrate la dolce vita!
Unwind with a relaxed after-hours viewing of the From Nonna with Love: Stories of Tradition and Triumph exhibition and enjoy an aperitivo and light snack while taking in the sweeping sunset views!
Our views of the ocean from the Australia II gallery are sublime and the summer months make this the perfect chance to pause, spend time with loved ones, and celebrate the spirit of our cherished Nonnas.
Inspired by the lives and legacies of Italian Nonnas, the evening is all about connection, conversation and slowing down together.
Bring your friends—or a special someone—for aperitivo and sharesies!
