Morgan After Hours: February Fête

Bonjour! 

You are cordially invited to the Château de Morgan for an evening of live music, artmaking, drinks, art, and literature in all of the Morgan’s Gilded Age glamour. 

Stroll the galleries full of European masterpieces in the exhibitions Renoir Drawings and Caravaggio’s “Boy with a Basket of Fruit” in Focus, and explore global treasures in Come Together: 3000 Years of Stories and Storytelling. Channel your inner artist and storyteller with live model sketching, scented faux floral artmaking, shadow puppetry, and more. 

Take a spin around the dance floor to the music of French swing ensemble Les Chauds Lapins (The Hot Rabbits), and enjoy picnic-inspired treats for purchase at the café.

Morgan After Hours is open to ages 21 and up. Suggested dress: French Country Chic (optional) 

Bisous,
The Morgan
