The museum is partnering with the Pleasanton Cultural Arts Council to offer a free 1-hour tour of the Public Art pieces at the Firehouse Arts Center and at the Museum on Main. Come and enjoy the stories of the twelve artworks donated by Gary and Nancy Harrington that grace the inside and outside of the Firehouse Arts Center. Learn about the artists who created these enduring works. Each piece represents the generosity of the Harringtons and their unique contribution to the public memory of Pleasanton. These monuments form our collective memory. Then discover three more unique works of art outside of the Museum on Main. 

Come sit next to Monet, marvel at dancers in ‘pas de deux’, meet the four amazing works of a female blacksmith and gaze in awe at the optic wonders of a crystal bell. Twelve monuments await your reflection and inspiration. Then, follow the guide to the Museum on Main to discover three more unique works of public art. 

​​Tours begin at 10:00 am at the Firehouse Arts Center and last about 1 hour. Tours go rain or shine and we recommend you wear comfortable shoes and a hat. Tours are limited to 25 people so pre-registration is required. Call the museum at (925)462-2766 to reserve your spot.  If you would like to book a tour outside of these free days or themes or have a group with mobility issues, please contact the museum's Director of Education at 925-462-2766 or education@museumonmain.org.
