Making A Landmark
Advance registration is required.
From design competition to opening day, the story of PAFA’s iconic building is a story of industrial innovation, artistic excellence, and civic engagement, all inscribed in the stone and paint of America’s first museum building. Join Vice President of Public Education Monica Zimmerman for a behind-the-scenes look at how the building that launched America onto the world art stage came together and remains active as a maker-space almost 150 years later.
Registration for this special tour includes admission to all current exhibitions for the day.
