Event Description

Follow a docent-led tour exploring art that captures the energy of a nation on the move. Centered on the theme of motion, this tour traces how American artists responded to a rapidly changing world—where the invention of the camera, trains, and cars redefined everyday life and reshaped how artists captured time, speed and movement.

Free! Reservations are recommended.
