There's no additional charge for the option to purchase tickets with a reservation time for the Sargent exhibit (September 23rd, 2025 to January 11th, 2026).
My idea is to dart up to the 5th floor first thing at 9:30 am and working through some pieces I've missed in the general collection. Then I would want to view the Sargent exhibit afterwards at noon.
My question is will they allow us to enter the museum at opening time to wander the museum before noon?
I haven't done that before at this museum. Generally it's always best to see desirable special shows at opening but we've already.
I don't really see a good answer anywhere.
