Yoga in the Museum: The museum is an enthusiastic partner with the Bates B-Well program for Bates employees. As part of this program, the museum serves as a yoga workshop location for Bates staff from noon to 1pm on Mondays and Wednesdays through August 11. The public is welcome to visit the exhibition during the workshops, but is advised to be mindful of the activity.
