Teacher-led public tour of the Blanton's Latin American art collection, offered in English and Spanish with no reservation needed.
The Blanton Museum of Art is hosting a public tour of its Latin American collection on Saturday, November 14, from 5:30 PM to 6:30 PM. It's part of the museum's broader public tour program, which runs educational walks through its rotating collection and special exhibitions. Latin American art is one of the most prominent areas of the Blanton's holdings, and since the collection galleries are rehung often, you'll likely see something new even if you've been through them before.
This particular tour focuses on the museum's wide-ranging collection of Latin American art, with works from Mexico, South America, Central America, and the Caribbean. A gallery teacher leads the way, and the whole thing takes about an hour. It's offered in both English and Spanish, so you can follow along in whichever language you're most comfortable with.
One of the best parts is that there's no reservation needed—you just show up. The tour meets in the Rapoport Atrium, on the ground floor of the Michener Gallery Building, which is part of the Blanton's campus at 200 E Martin Luther King Jr Blvd in Austin. The cost is included with museum admission, so if you're already planning to spend the afternoon at the Blanton, this is a good way to get a bit more context on one of its biggest collections without paying extra.
