Event Rental - Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University

The Nasher Museum, in keeping with Duke University’s campus-wide health and safety measures to curb the spread of the COVID-19 virus, will remain closed through the summer. All public in-person events and tours have been cancelled.

The health and safety of museum visitors, staff and volunteers is our top priority. Please check back for further updates. The university has adopted policies regarding classes, residential life, travel, events and campus visitors. Find the latest information on Duke’s Coronavirus Response website.

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.
