Event Description
During the late 19th century, industrialization and urbanization created massive wealth for some people. The era was known as the Gilded Age because the rich decorated their opulent mansions with gold leaf—called gilding. Learn how artworks in the Carter collection reflect this period, including how prosperity was not shared by all. Free for members. No reservations required.
Carter docents are eager to take members on a deeper dive into the museum's collection and special exhibitions. Meet at the Information Desk at 5 p.m. on Thursdays or 11 a.m. on Fridays to enjoy this member exclusive, and feel free to bring a friend!
Gathering with a group of 10 or more Carter members? Please email the membership office or call 817.989.5060 at least three days prior to your visit to make a group reservation.
