Get the most out of your visit to PAFA.
Experience drama, beauty, mystery, romance and adventure on a guided group tour of PAFA. Knowledgeable and personable guides reveal the fascinating stories hidden in four centuries of American paintings, sculptures, and works on paper.
Reserve a one-hour time slot for one of these outstanding tour topics:
- Highlights of the 18th and 19th Centuries
- Special Exhibitions
- Sculpture Past and Present
- Architecture of Frank Furness and George Hewitt
- Modern and Contemporary Art on view in the Annenberg Gallery
- Or tell us what your interests are and we’ll find the tour and the guide that is right for you. If we don’t have a topic that fits your interests, we’ll even consider creating one.
Also, consider joining us for a public program on the day of your visit, as well. Art-at-Lunch occurs every Wednesday and is a great opportunity to grab a lunch and hear an informal talk before or after your tour.
