Rough Point: Beyond the Tour

Rough Point: Beyond the Tour

Presented by Newport Restoration Foundation at Rough Point

With over 9,000 objects in the Rough Point collection it is impossible to cover everything on the standard house tour. Want to learn more? Join us for an evening of short gallery talks led by our expert staff that spotlight lesser known stories in the collection.

This year’s exhibition, Waterscapes: Islamic Architecture & Art from Doris Duke’s Shangri La,will be available for viewing during this program.

Tonight’s topics include:

– Art Undressed: The Portraits of John Hoppner
– Of Gods and Men: Classical Imagery in the Art of Rough Point
– Rough Point Underground: A Tour of our Mechanical Systems
– From Alabaster to Polychromy: Art of the Middle Ages and Renaissance at Rough Point
