Enjoy sounds of the season during Holiday Under Glass, Joslyn’s annual holiday concert series featuring area musical groups, now in its 25th year.
 Performances are held in the Conagra Brands Atrium. A gallery tour follows each concert at 1 pm (see calendar; regular exhibition ticket pricing applies for Word and Image: The Saint John's Bible tours). Seats fill quickly; arrive early if you plan to have lunch during the concert. Café Durham is open from 10:30 am to 3 pm. A limited lunch menu will be offered on Holiday Under Glass concert days from 11 am to 2 pm to streamline service and shorten the time in line for guests. Choices will include a hot special, soup, three salad options (champagne chicken, chef, or classic mixed green), and deli sandwiches. Kids meals will include a deli sandwich or hotdog. Join us!
Conagra Brands is a sponsor of Joslyn’s Holiday Under Glass concert
series as part of its Shine the Light on Hunger campaign. Bring
nonperishable food items to the Museum to donate to Food Bank for the
Heartland ($1 off Word and Image: The Saint John's Bible exhibition ticket for general public with donation).
