Tour: Spectacular Still Lives

Join docent Peter Boyd for a focused look into Still Lives works, a guided tour that explores the visual language and narrative power of still life compositions across time and place. From early modern traditions to contemporary interpretations—including works by Memphis-based artists—this tour unpacks how everyday objects become vessels of meaning, mood, and memory.

If you're an art lover, a curious observer, or someone seeking a richer understanding of how artists turn the ordinary into the extraordinary, this experience offers thoughtful insight into the styles, symbolism, and stories behind these often-overlooked works.

Attributed to Pieter Boel, 'Still Life with Dog', ca. 1650, oil on canvas.

The museum and all its programs are made possible by the generous support of museum members. Members enjoy free daily admission to Memphis Brooks Museum of Art and receive discounts of up to 50% on ticketed events. Join today at thebrooks.org/join
