Up Close Tour: Designing Women
Up Close Tours encourage visitors to look closely at materials from the Athenæum’s rich collections and consider them within a particular context.
Join Boston Athenæum Docent Lynn Smiledge as she explores the lives and cultural contributions of three leading voices of Boston’s art world: Sarah Wyman Whitman, Nancy Graves Cabot, and Polly Thayer Starr. This trio of distinguished women is represented in works displayed on the Athenæum’s first floor.
