About this Event

In conjunction with our pop-up exhibit Bridges as Structural Art in Boston, join bridge architect Miguel Rosales as he takes you on a walking tour of two bridges designed by himself and his firm. Hear about the design and engineering behind the Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Memorial Bridge and the newly completed Bill Russell Bridge. Learn about how form meets function in the creation of these Boston landmark bridges. The walking tour will last approximately 1 hour. After the tour, visit the special exhibit to learn about four other bridges and enjoy the rest of the Museum.


The tour begins at the West End Museum.


This project was made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
