Host your unique gathering at the Burke Museum and give your guests an experience they'll never forget!
From networking events and panel discussions to cocktail receptions and dance parties, we can help you create a custom experience for your celebration.
The Burke's dazzling event spaces feature soaring skeletons, Tiffany windows, and iconic artwork. Three floors of galleries engage guests with visible collections and workrooms and one-of-a-kind objects.
Revenue from private events supports ongoing programming and exhibits, and helps the Burke protect the collections and information we hold for future generations—thank you!
