From Spaces to Places: Public Art Walking Tours

The Smart Museum of Art in partnership with UChicago Arts and the Office of Civic Engagement, offer free public art walking tours at scheduled intervals throughout the year. Tours feature some of the highlights of the public art on campus, including Earth, Water, Sky, Nuclear Energy, Concrete Traffic, and Bench and Table. Tours are led by docents from the Smart Museum, and emphasize the accessibility and tangibility of some of the most challenging artworks on the UChicago campus.
