Member Mornings give Frist Art Museum members a relaxed way to start the day with early access to the museum before it opens to the general public. Enjoy docent-led tours, explore the galleries and Martin ArtQuest in a quieter setting, and experience the exhibitions from a fresh perspective. Also, members are invited to gather in the lobby for light bites and conversation while reflecting on the museum’s newest exhibitions. 

Exhibitions on view for this Member Morning include: Shimmer: Dreaming the Posthuman, Robin Vuchnich: In Search of Thoreau’s Flowers, and Beauty and Ritual: Judaica from the Jewish Museum, New York
