Overlooked pieces are among my favorites because you never know what secrets they may hold. My tour will explore the ethics and hidden stories behind seemingly innocuous objects. Visitors will consider the themes of religion and death looking at objects ranging from ancient Egypt to the contemporary United States.

Sightlines Tours last about 45 minutes and are designed for adult learners, though we welcome visitors of all ages! Free and open to the public.
