Club members are invited to join us for a summer afternoon at the popular Glass House and Galleries in New Canaan. Our exclusive group tour will visit the iconic Glass House, the creation and former home of renowned architect Philip Johnson, AB '27, GSD '43; the newly restored Brick House, open to the public for the first time in over 15 years; and the "structured warp" building known as Da Monsta. Our tour will also take us over a three-quarter mile walk on grass and paths to see the acclaimed architecture and collections of the Painting Gallery, Sculpture Gallery and outdoor sculpture, all harmonized against a beautiful landscape of Johnson's design.
