Join us for thematic tours inspired by our temporary exhibition Homecoming: Walter Osborne’s Portraits of Dublin, 1880–1900. These focused experiences in the galleries seek to help us more deeply consider works of art in light of the central theme, “Painting Generations,” woven through the exhibition. During the tour, participants will engage with works from the exhibition as well as a selected piece from the Museum’s permanent collection. Our goal is to foster a broader conversation about the connections between art, culture, and the world around us while inviting a nuanced understanding of the themes that shape Osborne’s work.    Walter Frederick Osborne (Irish, 1859–1903), Violet with a Rabbit, ca. 1900, Oil on canvas, 18 3/4 × 14 7/8 in.
