Members Day Trip: National Museum of Women in the Arts and National Portrait Gallery

Join us for a memorable day of art in Washington, DC! We’re excited to offer BMA Members and their guests a special opportunity to enjoy the vibrant museum scene of our nation’s capital—without any of the usual traffic or parking worries.

We’ll depart from the BMA at 8:30 a.m. and make our first stop at the National Museum of Women in the Arts (NMWA) to tour Suchitra Mattai: Myth from Matter. This exhibition explores powerful themes of European and Southeast Asian identity, history, and belonging through textiles, sculptures, collages, and paintings. You’ll also have time to wander through NMWA’s collection.

After a three-course lunch at Zaytinya, a renowned Mediterranean restaurant, we’ll cross the street to the National Portrait Gallery for an insightful tour of Brilliant Exiles: American Women in Paris, 1900-1939. This exhibition showcases the dynamic lives of American women who thrived in early 20th-century Paris. Discover how these trailblazers embraced the city’s freedom to redefine themselves and lead the avant-garde movement. Through captivating portraits, explore the stories of 60 remarkable women who shaped Paris’ modernist scene.

We’ll wrap up our day with a bus ride back to Baltimore, arriving at the BMA around 5:30 p.m.

This trip will sell out, and space is limited! Don’t miss this fantastic day of art and culture. Make your reservation online or call 443-573-1800 by October 4. Not a Member? Join today!
