It’s a total eclipse and some art at MAG! Witness a once-in-a-lifetime celestial event where Rochester will experience a total solar eclipse and be in the direct line of totality!
Watch the Eclipse
Bring your blankets to cozy up and camp out in our Centennial Sculpture Park, featuring sculptures from influential, contemporary artists, including Rashid Johnson, Pia Camil, Sanford Biggers, and more. Want to tour CSP before you arrive (and so you can scout out your spot?) Click here for a guide. Warm up with a nice cup of cocoa or coffee, tasty half-moon cookies, and other delights from Brown Hound Downtown, with music playing your favorite space tunes.
Enjoy the Museum
Enjoy exploring the museum galleries from 11 am to 2 pm, with the purchase of an admission ticket. (Galleries are located through the glass doors, steps away from the viewing party!)
Spring Break Special: Kids ages 6 to 18 receive FREE museum admission (valid only with an accompanying adult ticket).
Want to experience Yayoi Kusama’s INFINITY MIRRORED ROOM – LET’S SURVIVE FOREVER, 2017 during your visit? Reserve your timed ticket for entering the installation when you check in at the Admissions Desk.
Make Some Art
The Creative Workshop is holding eclipse-themed art workshops all weekend!
