Remarkable Events in a Unique Destination... When it is Safe to be Together

Known for its modernist architecture and contemporary aesthetic, the Nasher Museum is a unique destination on a hill surrounded by tall pines on Duke University’s campus. Whether you are planning a cocktail reception following a keynote lecture or your dream wedding reception, our Special Events team will guide you every step of the way from start to finish.

New: an elegant outdoor events space! The Sculpture Garden is a beautiful green plaza for cocktail parties under the stars, outdoor performances and more.
