Museum lecturers, educators, graduate students, and occasionally curators lead talks in the collection and special exhibitions daily at 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Audiences learn about the historical context and significance of modern and contemporary artworks through a process of looking and exchanging ideas with a lecturer.

Professor Penny Sparke, Dean of the Faculty of Art, Design & Music, Kingston University, London, delivers a lecture investigating contemporary design within the legacy of modern design in Denmark today. A panel discussion, moderated by Laetitia Wolff, writer and curator, follows the lecture and includes, among others, designer Christina Strand and Anders Byriel, director of the textile manufacturing company Kvadrat.

Sign language interpreted gallery talks are held every fourth Sunday of the month at 1:30 p.m. FM headsets for sound amplification are available for all talks. Lectures are free with Museum admission. Groups are limited to twenty-five. Group stickers are distributed ten minutes prior to each Gallery Talk.

Tickets ($10; members $8; students and seniors $5) can be purchased at the lobby information desk and the Film desk, or online at www.ticketweb.com.
