Curious about works of art that aren’t always included on a BMA tour? Take a DeTour with us! We will spend 30 minutes focusing on a work of art that is off the beaten path.
This Saturday, drop by and join BMA Teaching Fellow Micah Mann as he facilitates a discussion around Dale Chihuly’s Birmingham Persian Wall.
Meet Micah in the Main Lobby on the first floor at 1pm.
