Last Friday, on the opening day of After Darkness: Southeast Asian Art in the Wake of History, Asia Society kicked off the weekend with its inaugural First Friday Leo Bar where guests got a first look at the new exhibition and enjoyed Southeast-Asian-inspired refreshments. At this unique happy hour series, occurring on the first Friday of every month, Asia Society Museum stays open late and offers free admission, exhibition tours, specialty drinks, and more. 

The next First Friday Leo Bar happy hours will take place on October 6th, November 3rd, and December 1st. Learn more about our First Friday Leo Bar series here.
