Public Tour

A picture is worth a thousand words, the adage goes, and artists have communicated messages and meaning with their art from the beginning of time. From the church-sponsored art of the 17th century to contemporary art reflecting on war, poverty, and politics, artists have sought to persuade the masses. See all of the ways artists convey messages on this tour of the Blanton\’s newly reimagined permanent collection.

Please arrive at least 15 minutes before the start of the tour. Our tours accommodate larger groups, but we encourage you to check-in with our Visitor Services Desk to secure your place.
