Tours
Specialty Tours are guided deep dives led by a Library expert, with small groups of 15 to 20 people, that explore a specific theme, gallery, or aspect of T.R.'s life in greater depth. They're a chance to ask questions, linger over the details, and experience the Library through the lens of someone who knows the story inside and out.
Prefer to explore at your own pace? A general admission ticket gives you full access to the galleries on your own schedule.
