Earlier this year, the Picture Gallery reopened on the third floor of the Hawaiian Hall complex after it was renovated to reflect its original exhibit space. Prior to the reopening, much of the artwork remained in storage for over seventy years. This Benefit Dinner aims to continue the restoration efforts and eventual display of pieces that are in need of conservation.
