The Nasher Museum of Art in June features a series of free gallery tours, community celebrations, and rotating exhibitions designed to make contemporary art accessible to the public. Located on the Duke University campus in Durham, the museum offers a welcoming space to explore diverse perspectives, including special guided tours that highlight queer voices and themes of acceptance for Pride Month. If you are planning a visit, admission is always free for everyone, and you do not need a reservation. The museum is closed on Mondays, but open Tuesday through Sunday, with extended hours on Thursday evenings. School-age children will get the most out of the guided gallery tours, which last about an hour. This is an excellent weekend pick because it combines cultural education with a relaxed pace. You can pair a morning stroll through the quiet galleries with a walk around the adjacent Sarah P. Duke Gardens, giving your kids plenty of space to run around afterward.
