Read on for two special events that were just added to the Fall Preview Schedule, as well as popular tours with increased capacity!
Frey House II Tour + Museum Day Pass
October 14-17, 2021
This historic home is rarely open to the public, but we are thrilled to offer tours during Fall Preview! Frey House II was the personal residence of architect Albert Frey, the “Father of Desert Modernism.” Completed in 1964, this historic hillside landmark was designed to have as little impact on the surrounding environment, and serves as an iconic example of site-specific architecture and design in Palm Springs.
Tour tickets will also include admission to both the Palm Springs Art Museum and the Architecture & Design Center, where “The Modern Chair” exhibit is currently on view.
Tickets here – $50 (2 hrs)
