University & Burke Museum

Join Sarah Armbruster of the Washington State Gleaning Network and Kathy Sharp of AGO as we tour the Burke Museum - a special place on the University of Washington campus with an outstanding collection of the art, indigenous culture, and natural history of the Pacific Northwest.  The museum is a beautiful and creative space.  The visit will include a gentle walk around the University of Washington campus with its Gothic architecture, cherry blossoms, and iconic views of Mt.
