    Public Tours

    Led by our incredible docents, public tours take visitors through the museum’s collection and special exhibitions. More of a guided conversation in the galleries than a traditional lecture, our interactive tours share surprising stories and fun facts and encourage visitors to form personal connections with the art on view and each other.

  • Saw and Sawed, 1969

    Neil Jenney

    A chainsaw with a long, gray rounded blade and yellow motor marked with the letter M just above its handle rests in a field of dark green brushstrokes evocative of thick grass between a section of newly cut tree trunk is lying on its side on the left and a short, brown tree stump on the right. A black border runs around the image, and the words SAW AND SAWED appear in white capital letters at bottom center.
  • SP273, 2014

    Sterling Ruby

    SP273
  • Les Arbres (The Trees), ca. 1906

    André Derain

    A vibrantly colored landscape with several slim-trunked trees and mountains in the background fills this canvas. The sky is a light yellow while the ground is a slightly darker, sandy hue. The artist used cool blues with patches of crimson to depict the mountains, and warm reds, yellows, and oranges to emphasize tall, thin tree trunks in the foreground. Shadows fall diagonally from the trees toward the right hand corner of the painting where the artist’s small, blue signature rests.
  • Elinor, Jean and Anna, 1920

    George Wesley Bellows

    Elinor, Jean and Anna
  • untitled (to Donna) 6, 1971

    Dan Flavin

    A square of fluorescent tube lights mounted in white aluminum fixtures sits on the floor in front of a corner of the gallery space. The lights that make up the top and the bottom of the frame shine bright blue light outward. The lights that make up the right and left of the frame cast yellow and pink light into the corner behind the sculpture.
  • Winter, East Liverpool, 1927

    Charles Ephraim Burchfield

    Winter, East Liverpool
  • La Vie paysanne (Peasant Life), 1925

    Marc Chagall

  • Dream Displacement, 1976

    Paul Sharits

    Dream Displacement
  • Born, 2002

    Kiki Smith

    A life-sized nude female figure emerges head-first from the rear of a standing deer. Only her feet remain inside the animal, and the rest of her body is angled toward the floor, with her left shoulder making contact. She cranes her neck slightly to gaze back toward the deer, who has large ears and small antler nubs. The bronze surface of the sculpture is smooth and has a dark uniform patina, making it appear black.
