Whether you are a student, scholar, museum professional, collector, or an art enthusiast, you will enjoy the society's programs, trips, and social events. These include exhibtion previews, receptions, dinner and luncheon lectures by distinguished scholars, and walking tours led by curators. The OMS also plans trips to museums and private collections in other parts of the country and abroad.
