Illinois Governor's Mansion Art Tours
About this Event
Governor JB and First Lady MK Pritzker are proud to open the doors of the People’s House to you.
The works on display throughout the Mansion are on loan from museums, galleries, and private collections across Illinois and beyond. Each piece has been thoughtfully selected to complement the Mansion's elegant spaces — from paintings and sculptures to decorative arts. Your tour explores the stories behind the works, the collections they come from, and what each brings to this living, working home.
Your tour is led by a trained IDNR interpreter who brings deep knowledge and vivid storytelling to every room. All tours are guide-led.
BOOKING TOURS
Tours for up to 10 guests are booked by clicking the red “check availability” button to the right.
