Asian Art Museum’s $5 “Takeover”

Want to visit the Asian Art Museum without the weekend crowds and for less than half of the price?

Try Thursday nights. The Asian Art Museum is open late on Thursday nights (5-9 pm) and tickets are just $5 (normally it’s $15) to see the amazing permanent collection with the Cafe open late, and often pop-up bars, DJs and special activities. The Thursday Nights program typically runs March through September.

TAKEOVER – $5 Thursday Nights | Asian Art Museum
Thursday, August 4, 2016 | 6pm to 9pm
Asian Art Museum | 200 Larkin, SF
> $5 after 5 pm

Husband-and-wife restaurateurs Anthony Myint and Karen Leibowitz (of Mission Chinese Food) take over the museum and share ideas, strategies and inspirations related to food and climate change.

This TAKEOVER illuminates the impact of food and drinks on the environment and how our consumption choices can actually help reverse climate change. Along with some of their favorite partners and fellow environmental food pioneers, the pair will present an evening of ideas, conversation and questions.

Interactive stations will unpack the carbon footprint of common ingredients and the climate change potential of perennial plants, and five short-short films made in collaboration with artist/illustrator Jon Adams and produced by Bonfire Labs will be screened.
