Special Tour: Hill-Stead’s Impressionist Paintings
Limit 10 people
Offered June 25 and October 30 at 2:30PM
On this special tour, visitors are offered the opportunity to take their time with Hill-Stead’s Impressionist masterpieces—including works by Monet, Degas, Manet, Cassatt, and Whistler—and to think deeply about how these canvases relate to the Pope family’s larger collection and to famous narratives from the history of art. The biographies of the artworks that are so central to Hill-Stead’s story, rather than the biographies of the people who established the museum, become the focus.  This allows the tour to attend more closely to the art that makes Hill-Stead a celebrated destination and for visitors to engage with the collection in a way that complements the museum’s other tour offerings.
Note: This tour is limited to the first floor of the historic house.

He first experimented with aluminum in the 1950s and later with galvanized steel, creating a series of twenty-six sculptures in collaboration with Gemini G.E.L. in Los Angeles in 1982–83.…
