Floor Seven

Spotlight tours offer an opportunity to slow down and look closely at select highlights from The Whitney's Collection. Guided by a Museum docent, participants are encouraged to study and discuss works together. Each forty-five minute session either focuses on a single work of art, or explores a connection between two works. This session looks at Early Sunday Morning (1930) by Edward Hopper, and Brooklyn Bridge (1939) by Joseph Stella.

February 19 and 24
2 pm

Tours meet in the seventh-floor galleries.

No reservations are necessary, but tours are limited to fifteen people welcome to join on a first come, first served basis.
