On Monday, Jan. 20, the Toledo Museum of Art (TMA) will offer a full day of engaging programs and activities to honor the life and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. This year’s theme, “More than a Dream,” asks visitors to reflect on Rev. King’s enduring vision for justice and equity and celebrate his profound impact through art and dialogue.

“Dr. King’s transformative leadership continues to inspire generations,” said Jennifer McCary, chief culture and brand experience officer at the museum. “On MLK Day, we open the museum as a welcoming space for reflection, creativity, and connection, inviting our community to engage with his vision in ways that foster understanding and unity."
