Dragons, shapeshifters, and hybrid creatures await! Join us for a special after-hours evening to celebrate spring.

Sip, sketch, and wander the galleries to chat with experts and discover the wild, wondrous creatures that have captivated the human imagination for centuries.
Presented in conjunction with the exhibition Creatures of Myth and Imagination: Europe and the Americas.
Tickets $50. Note: Space is limited; advance registration is required. Drink specials and light fare available for purchase. Activities are subject to change.
Join us on the back lawn of the Dyckman Farmhouse Museum for a free outdoor concert you won’t want to miss!
Experience the mesmerizing sounds of kora player Salieu Suso and his family ensemble, Jaliya Kafo. The kora is a 2-string instrument from West Africa that is often compared to the Western harp, but its sound is uniquely rich and soothing. Crafted from calabash, rosewood, cowhide, and fishing line strings, the kora produces melodic, serene tones that transport you to another world.
Bring a blanket, relax under our cherry tree, and enjoy an afternoon of beautiful music in community.
Kora and vocals: Salieu Suso and Emarima Jassey / Balafon and vocals: Bailo Bah / Falaflute and vocals: Mamudou Konate Jembe
We believe great music should be accessible to everyone, which is why we have no cover—ever. Come hang with us Monday thru Saturday for the best live sets in the Heights.
