Manhattan, Kansas: Art & Exploration in the Flint Hills

Osher heads due west to experience art, technology and more in Manhattan, Kansas. The day will start at the Museum of Art + Light, Manhattan's newest museum conceived as the first contemporary art museum in the world to showcase immersive, digital and permanent collections from inception. Through music, light and digital innovation, we will explore the evolution of Pablo Picasso - one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. After lunch at the museum, we will explore art through the lens of Native American artists at the Marianna Kistler Beach Museum of Art's "Home/Land: Wahzhazhe Artists Speak," a new exhibition of Osage Nation artists. Both tours will include docent-led activities. We will end the day with a stop at the Flint Hills Discovery Center to learn more about the natural beauty of the land surrounding Manhattan.

Limited to 50 participants. Includes executive coach transportation to three sites, entry and docent-led tours of all sites, lunch, snacks and water.
