Tours at Two

On Fridays and Saturdays, the Hispanic Society Museum and Library hosts highlights tours of our exhibitions, free and open to the public, thanks to the generous support from New York State Council of the Arts and the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs.

PLEASE NOTE: Prior registration is necessary. Space is limited. If you are a group with six people or more, please email [email protected] to make a separate arrangement.

The tours will address select artworks from our current exhibition cycle:

A Room of Her Own: The Estrado and the Hispanic World -- A groundbreaking exhibition exploring the rich history of the estrado. The exhibition features decorative objects, paintings, textiles, rare books, and engravings from the Hispanic Society’s unrivaled collection, with many works on view for the first time.

Sorolla's Vision of Spain -- The monumental series of 14 paintings known as Vision of Spain by the Valencian master Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida. A truly unique, immersive experience that captures the essence of turn-of-the-century rural Spain.

Wearing Power: Luxury and Status in Ancient Iberia -- Throughout history, humans have aspired to surround themselves with beautiful things that today we could call the “good life”. The visitor might even ask, “were those times, thousands of years ago, the beginning of the materialistic societies of today?” This exhibition thus shows that the past is never too remote, featuring jewelry, glass, and ceramics from the Hispanic Society’s collection of antiquities.

Sculptures on the Audubon Terrace -- Immerse yourself in Penetrable, an interactive sculpture created by Jesús Rafael Soto, as well as our sculpture program featuring El Cid, by Anna Vaughn Hyatt Huntington. Try to find the one black angel in Píntame Angelitos Negros, the 2024 Art on the Audubon Terrace installation by Rose Deler.
