Guided Tours: Rosie Lee Tompkins
Adult tours at 12 PM
Family tours at 1 PM (recommended for children ages 5–12)
On Fridays from June 25 through July 16, BAMPFA Education staff offer two types of guided tours of the acclaimed Rosie Lee Tompkins exhibition: family-friendly discussions that explore patterns and discover hidden stories in the quilts, and adult tours that address Tompkins' life and the extraordinary visual qualities of her art.
