Join us for a public tour! Led by our incredible docents, public tours take visitors through the museum’s collection and special exhibitions. More of a guided conversation in the galleries than a traditional lecture, our interactive tours share surprising stories and fun facts and encourage visitors to form personal connections with the art on view and each other.
Submit to the 29th annual Art Alive! This contest invites participants to create living representations of famous works of art at the AKG for great prizes.
Check out Hi-Vis: Ten Years of Public Art—a documentary that features reflective interviews with AKG Curator of Public Art Aaron Ott and many of the artists who have worked with the Public Art Initiative over the past ten years.
Members get the best access to the AKG and special opportunities to create deeper connections with the collection. Enjoy unlimited free admission, guest passes, invitations to exclusive members’ previews and events, and more!
Trace the evolution of the museum’s campus, from groundbreaking for our first building in 1900 to the opening of the Buffalo AKG Art Museum in 2023.
