Take a docent-led tour of Many Wests. Visitors can gain in-depth insights about the themes, artists, and works featured in this exhibition. Many Wests examines the perspectives of 48 modern and contemporary artists who offer a broader and more inclusive view of the West beyond how it is often narrowly represented in popular culture and through dominant historical narratives. Docent tours are on a walk-in basis and no longer require pre-registration. Tours begin in the lobby of the Lightcatcher and last one hour. Participants will need to wear face coverings while visiting the Museum and participating in the tour.
