Making A Landmark
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 Dennis Robinson for a behind-the-scenes look at how the building that launched America onto the world art stage came together and has remained active as a maker-space for almost 150 years.
Registration includes the entrance fee to PAFA's Museum.
