For our Labor Day weekend, we're heading to one of the world's greatest museums of modern art for an afternoon built around two completely different special exhibitions—followed by an optional visit to some of the most famous masterpieces in MoMA's extraordinary collection!
And we're beginning with two names that certainly need no introduction:
🌺 FRIDA KAHLO & DIEGO RIVERA
Artists. Revolutionaries. Husband and wife.
Their extraordinary and often tumultuous relationship became nearly as famous as their art.
Now MoMA brings their worlds together in:
*FRIDA AND DIEGO: THE LAST DREAM*
And our timing is particularly good—the exhibition is nearing the end of its run and closes September 12!
Created as a first-of-its-kind collaboration between The Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Opera, the exhibition brings together six paintings and a drawing by Frida Kahlo, more than a dozen works by Diego Rivera, and photographic portraits of the artists, all presented within a theatrical environment created by designer Jon Bausor.
This isn't simply an exhibition of paintings.
It's a fascinating look at two remarkable artists, Mexican art and identity, politics, creativity, love—and one of the most complicated relationships in 20th-century art.

⏰ IMPORTANT — PLEASE READ BEFORE SIGNING UP!
THIS IS A STRUCTURED SELF-GUIDED SOCIAL CLUB VISIT
This event is not a private docent-led tour.
Instead, we'll be experiencing MoMA together through a structured self-guided visit with specific time parameters for each exhibition.
I will be helping to coordinate our group throughout the afternoon.
Within each exhibition, members will be free to explore independently, spend time with the works that interest them most, and enjoy the exhibition at their own pace.
However, we will have a specific one-hour period for each of our two featured exhibitions, and everyone should be mindful of our scheduled transition time so that we can regroup and move together to our next destination.
This gives us the best of both worlds:
The freedom of a self-guided museum visit — with the organization and camaraderie of a Social Club event!

🕐 OUR AFTERNOON AT MoMA
🌺 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM
FRIDA & DIEGO: *THE LAST DREAM*
📍 FLOOR 3 — 3 NORTH
Our afternoon begins with the exhibition that inspired this special MoMA visit.
We'll have a full hour to explore *Frida and Diego: The Last Dream*.
You'll be able to move independently through the exhibition, taking your time with the works and displays that interest you most.
But please keep an eye on the time!
At 2:00 PM, we'll regroup and make our way together to MoMA's Lower Level for an entirely different experience.

🎬 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM
*IT'S ALIVE! A CENTURY OF ANIMATION FROM THE COLLECTION*
📍 LOWER LEVEL (LL) — T2/T1
Now we're going from Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera to something completely different!
*It's Alive! A Century of Animation from the Collection* is MoMA's sweeping exploration of more than 100 years of animation.
The exhibition includes more than 200 works of production art and film, tracing animation from some of its earliest pioneers through generations of experimentation and innovation.
We'll encounter material connected to early animation icons such as Gertie the Dinosaur, Koko the Clown and Felix the Cat, along with later artists and filmmakers who continued transforming the possibilities of the animated image.
We'll have another full hour—from 2:00 until 3:00 PM—to explore this exhibition.
At approximately 3:00 PM, our principal Social Club event officially…
