About this event
Not every October tradition is about fright. Around the world, this season is also a time to remember ancestors, honor loved ones, and reflect on life’s mysteries. Join us for a docent-led tour that blends intriguing artworks from the collection with thoughtful conversations about art, memory, and cultural traditions of remembrance. Highlights of the tour include Francisco Zurbarán’s Saint Francis of Assisi in His Tomb (1630/34) and Rigaud Benoit’s Recall of the Dead (1973). Drop-in tours invite you to explore the Museum through the perspectives of our knowledgeable docents, with different themes highlighting the collection each season. Featured artworks are subject to change due to conservation and collection care. This drop-in experience is included with Museum admission and is free for Members. Admission tickets are available at the door and online.
