Public guided tour of the Blanton's collection highlights, led by gallery teachers and included with museum admission.
Blanton Museum of Art is running its Public Tour: Highlights of the Blanton's Collection on Tuesday, Nov 17, from 12:30 PM to 1:30 PM. It's a guided walk through the museum's permanent collection, led by gallery teachers who know the halls inside and out.
The tour is built for first-timers. It gives a broad overview of the museum and its exhibitions, so if you've never been or only spent a few minutes there, this is a good way to get your bearings. The gallery teachers lead the group through the highlights, pointing out the pieces that define the collection and explaining the context around them. It's a structured way to see the museum without having to figure out where to start on your own.
One thing that makes it worth coming back to is how the galleries change. The museum rotates its displays often, so you'll see something different every time you visit. If you've been before, the tour will likely show you work you haven't seen yet. The guides run the tour in both English and Spanish, and you don't need a reservation to join in.
