The Traveling Workshop transforms every corner of the museum and botanical garden into a space for artistic exploration, engaging with diverse artistic languages. Each week, the workshop travels to a new location, inviting participants to explore how different spaces help us discover new ways to create and experience art and nature. In July, the program is even more dynamic.
