Secret Stories of Colors Private Museum Tour

Immerse yourself in the histories of your favorite colors on this exclusive, privately guided art tour hosted by ART SMART.

Our Secret Stories of Colors Tour traces the inventions and discoveries of color from ancient to contemporary times, including medieval lapis lazuli blue in from Afghanistan mountains, poisonous green pigments and lead white paint, the surprising source of Turner’s famous florescent yellow, and the contemporary fight between artists to access patented Singularity and Vantablack.

Aside from The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, this tour is also offered at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC, and at The Art Institute of Chicago.
