Crossroads: Carnegie Museum of Art’s Collection, 1945 to Now

Who better to spend a Thursday night with than a T-Rex and a collage of atomic bomb blasts? The Carnegie Museums of Art and Natural History are opening their doors every Thursday evening in September for their Free Thursday Evenings series. In addition to opening its doors, the Carnegie Museum of Art is offering Crossroads: Carnegie Museum of Art’s Collection, 1945 to Now to participants. Capturing the spirit of a post-WWII at the crossroads of history and society, the museum is dusting off works rarely seen from its expansive collection to ponder where contemporary art has been. 3 p.m. – 8 p.m. 4400 Forbes Ave., Oakland. cmoa.org
