 Enjoy this exclusive guided tour of the Clark Art Institute for a group of up to 6 people.  Lunch in the Clark’s Café 7 or Stone Hill Café for your group will make the visit particularly memorable.  In addition to the tour, you'll also receive catalogues for the exhibitions Women Artists in Paris: 1850-1900, The Art of Iron, and Jennifer Steinkamp.

At the Clark’s  campus, located in Williamstown, Massachusetts you will be welcomed to one of the nation's premier art destinations. Enjoy the Clark's magnificent collection including its treasured collection of  French Impressionist paintings, its American decorative arts galleries, and special exhibitions in all three of the campus’s main exhibition spaces.

A special selection of video installations by Jennifer Steinkamp brings a contemporary look at nature to the Clark’s Lunder Center at Stone Hill, while a photography show in the Manton Research Center examines A City Transformed: Photographs of Paris, 1850-1900. The Clark’s noted permanent collection includes European and American paintings, sculpture, and decorative arts, including works by John Singer Sargent, Winslow Homer, Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Edgar Degas, and J.M.W. Turner among many others.

Surrounded by 140 acres of expansive lawns, meadows, and walking trails, the Clark is located in a setting of profound natural beauty.

Walking trails traverse the property, including trails up historic Stone Hill, whose summit offers a spectacular view of Williamstown and the Green Mountains of Vermont and hosts Thomas Schütte’s architectural sculpture installation,Crystal.
