Join us monthly on each second Saturday for a session in our aura studio and a specialized tour of our museum and grounds with a behind the scenes peek at of some of our collection items. Tour starts at 2pm, Auras from 12-4pm.
Drop in anytime between 12-4pm to have your aura read by our Aura Camera.
Aura Photographs $20 and include a limited edition Risograph photo backing and admission to the museum.
Developed by Guy Coggins in the 1970’s, an aura photograph is created by attaching an instant film camera to two electrode hand plates containing physiological sensors. Through the meridian points in a person’s hands, these plates sense the vibrational frequency they radiate. That frequency is then matched to a corresponding color through an algorithm in the camera. The image produced is a double exposure of the subject and the colored electricity of their body.
Join us at 2pm for a special LGBTQ+ tour of the museum, park and our Queer Ecologies Project garden. We will take a deep dive into Alice’s photographs, close relationships and what was happening in queer history during Alice’s lifetime. Our Collections Director will also share some of Alice’s rare and personal prints.
Tours are $12 and include museum admission.
*Discount available to those who register for both an aura session and tour.
