PUBLIC PROGRAMS <br />A variety of talks, films, classes, and musical <br />performances are offered weekly throughout the <br />museum, including the state-of-the-art Norma <br />Kershaw Auditorium, the John M. Lee Court, and <br />outside in the historic Mission -style Margaret and <br />Cleo Key Courtyard. <br />Talks are the most popular and provide Bowers' <br />visitors with access to respected speakers and <br />experts from around the world. Each offers a <br />special perspective on the collections, exhibitions <br />and themes housed and explored by the Bowers <br />Museum through the varied lenses of archaeology, <br />anthropology, education, social sciences and the <br />arts. Talks are mostly offered in educational support <br />of the themes and topics explored in our visiting <br />exhibitions as well as permanent gallery collections. <br />Exhibition -related talks usually include perspectives <br />from experts in related fields of study. We also offer <br />popular lectures in partnerships with Bowers Affiliate <br />Councils and other community providers to give <br />visitors a broad range of insight into special interests <br />and popular themes. <br />After hours programming provides visitors with <br />the unique opportunity to visit the museum in the <br />evening while enhancing the experience with a <br />variety of events including dinner, outdoor movies, <br />performances and art making. These programs are <br />produced and promoted in partnership with Tangata <br />Restaurant and the Patina Restaurant Group. <br />
