Later that day, visitors can attend “Comic Couture: Beyond the Panels,” an artist talk scheduled from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m.

The discussion offers a behind-the-scenes look at the museum’s latest exhibition, which merges comic book aesthetics with high fashion.

Festivities continue on Sunday, June 15, with a Father’s Day Family Trivia Hunt from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Families are invited to embark on a self-guided scavenger hunt through the museum galleries, solving clues together for a chance to win prizes—and bragging rights, with plenty of dad jokes sure to be spewed.

The weekend also marks the debut of the “Comic Couture: Beyond the Panels” exhibition, curated by Bridge Art Gallery and running from June 12 through June 29.

The exhibit showcases work from a diverse group of artists who reimagine comic book motifs like speech bubbles, panel layouts, and superhero imagery through the lens of fashion and fine art.
