    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.

  • Boys cutting through a hedge, 2003

    Jeff Wall

    Just left of this image’s center, the small figures of two young men emerge from a gap in the largely dead hedge with patches of ivy growing around a chain-link fence that spans across the center of this image beneath an ominously clouded sky. The neatly trimmed grass, sunken headstones, and flower arrangements in the foreground suggest that these men are entering a cemetery.
  • Le Panthéon et Saint-Étienne-du-Mont (The Pantheon and Saint-Étienne-du-Mont), ca. 1903-1906

    Raoul Dufy

    A large building topped by a dome held aloft by classical pillars dominates this brightly lit city scene. The building extends from the right edge of the canvas. On the left, a clear blue skills fills the area above a church with a large bell tower and a section of yellow cobblestones partially filled by a number of pedestrians.
  • Milkweed, 1955

    Lee Krasner

    This vertically oriented canvas seems to contain three layers. Softly defined rectangles in shades of mottled green, white, and cream form the background. Six large, amorphous black shapes with ragged edges rest on top. Finally, three cream-colored slivers extend vertically from the base of painting on its right side. Near the top and to the left of these forms, three small orange shapes peep out from background.
  • SP273, 2014

    Sterling Ruby

    SP273
  • Electric, 1963

    Edward Ruscha

    The word “electric” in all capital, italicized letters spans across the center of this almost square canvas. The letters are painted in a gradient from bright yellow at the top to rich orange at the bottom, standing out in stark contrast against the solid deep blue background.
  • La Musique, 1939

    Henri Matisse

    Two women look out toward the viewer from this brightly colored painting. The artist depicted these women using simple, flat shapes with dark outlines. The woman in a caramel colored dress at left sits on a floor cushion next to sheet music. The woman at right wears a marine blue jumpsuit with yellow triangles at the bottom of the legs. She has one foot on the floor and one on the couch on which she sits while playing guitar. A red tile floor contrasts with a black wall decorated with large green leaves.
  • Portrait de Mlle Rose Caron (Portrait of Rose Caron), ca. 1892

    Edgar Degas

    A woman wearing a low-cut pink evening dress and elbow-length gloves sits at the center of this horizontally oriented painting. What appears to be a multicolored furred or feathered garment rests on the back of her red chair. Her face, oriented left, is largely obscured by shadow. She clutches a folded fan in her right hand and adjusts the top of her left hand. The entire scene is loosely painted in a palette dominated by dark greens and yellows.
