Pairings
Pairings are tours with a twist; offering unusual match-ups between local experts and DAM staff. Imagine a perfumer free to create luscious scents inspired by the Monets and Mondrians of the world; take an olfactory journey through the collection. Perk your ears and listen to the musical pairings of an expert violinist and curator. Dare to join in on these unusual multi-sensory experiences in the galleries and experience art as never before. There are no Pairings scheduled at this time. Check back for updates.
