Henry Gallery Tour with Jacob Lawrence Exhibit
Enjoy an insider’s experience of the UW’s Henry Gallery! First, get an in-depth view of the museum with a full guided tour. Then step behind the scenes when you meet the collections team in the Study for a special viewing of work by Jacob Lawrence that is not currently on display to the general public.
The Henry is a museum for contemporary art and ideas, grounded in the belief that art has the power to challenge norms, inspire change, and create a more equitable world. As Washington State’s first art museum, the Henry is internationally recognized for groundbreaking exhibitions, dynamic programs, and a long-standing commitment to championing artists at every stage of their careers. With a collection of nearly 30,000 objects and a deep partnership with the University of Washington, the Henry serves as a welcoming cultural hub, amplifying a diverse range of artistic voices and offering transformative, first-hand experiences that spark curiosity and new perspectives.
ACCESSIBILITY NOTES: The museum is fully accessible by wheelchair and all levels can be accessed by elevator. Wheelchairs are available without charge at the front desk. Task-trained service animals are welcome (no pets). Ask staff for lightweight, foldable gallery chairs if needed. Read more about accessibility at the Henry at this link.
