MUSEUM TOURS

Sundays at the Figge • 1:30 pm
Figge tours are a great way to spend Sunday afternoon with family or friends. On most Sundays the museum offers an informal, docent-guided tour that is tailored to your interests. On the last Sunday of the month, a special themed tour will be presented. All Sunday tours begin at 1:30 pm in the lobby and last about 40 minutes.

American Landscapes • 1:30 pm, May 27
Discover why nature appealed to artists and writers in the nineteenth century, as Figge docents Sylvia Martin and Jane Koski introduce you to landscape paintings on display in the American Gallery. The paintingsare as varied as the artists’ approaches—a mountain scene in early autumn, a pastoral meadow at twilight, a silvery lake illuminated by moonlight, a winter landscape, and a spectacular waterfall.

Louis Comfort Tiffany, River of Life, 1905, favrile glass, copper foil, lead, LTL1.
