Public guided tour led by gallery teachers for first-time visitors, offering an overview of the Blanton's collection and galleries.
Blanton Museum of Art is running its Highlights of the Blanton's Collection public tour on Saturday, November 7, from 5:30 to 6:30 PM. It's one of the museum's regular public tours, led by gallery teachers and offered in both English and Spanish. No reservation is needed, so you can just show up.
The tour is aimed at first-time visitors and gives an overview of the museum and its exhibitions. It takes in some of the collection's fan favorites through close looking and conversation, drawing connections between the Latin American, European, and Modern and Contemporary galleries. Because the collection galleries rotate regularly, something new appears on every visit, so even if you've been before, you'll likely see things you missed last time.

Logistically, there are a couple of things to keep in mind. Groups are limited to 25 people on a first-come, first-served basis, so it's a good idea to arrive at least 15 minutes early and check in at the Visitor Services Desk to make sure you get a spot. The tour meets in the Rapoport Atrium on the ground floor of the Michener Gallery Building at 200 E Martin Luther King Jr Blvd. The cost is included with museum admission.
