Fall at the Art Museum
| September 29, 2010
|
 The second annual Nassau Street Sampler drew more than 2,300 students and community members to the Museum to launch this year's Late Thursdays. Visitors were treated to the Museum's exhibitions as well as dance, music, and tasty treats served up by eighteen of Princeton's favorite purveyors. Check out our Facebook album--and even add your own images. Thanks to everyone for making the evening a success--we hope to see you again soon in the galleries and at our many other fall events!
