Trust Tour Featuring the Dietrich Collection

EVENTS > SPECIAL PROGRAMS

If you love American decorative arts, you won’t want to miss our Trust Tour of A Collector’s Vision: Highlights from the Dietrich American Foundation, a soon-to-close exhibition currently on view at the Philadelphia Museum of Art through mid-November. Explore collector H. Richard Dietrich Jr.’s vision and mission to share important examples of American art. Curator Deborah Rebuck and Richard Dietrich III will lead us through a rare collection from the 1700s and 1800s, including portraits of George Washington and a Chinese export porcelain bowl depicting a view of the hongs of Canton.

Trust Tours is a monthly virtual program that gives viewers the opportunity to go behind the scenes and experience incredible collections live. Curators, collectors, and lovers of decorative arts share favorite objects through 40-minute tours followed by a Q&A hosted on YouTube Live.
