Tips & Advice
- Book a set tour start time ahead, because the docent-led tours leave at fixed times each evening.
- Plan around Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, because there are no evening tours on December 24 and 25.
- Stay on the Front Portico after your tour for refreshments and the carolers instead of heading straight to the car.
- Listen for the pianist in the Drawing Room and the organ in the Music Room as you go, and keep time for the Ballroom performances.
- Buy Museum admission too if you want to see the Fleurs de Villes floral mannequins, which are on display during the same December dates.

- Fleurs de Villes: THE GILDED AGE is on view throughout the Museum from December 18 to 27, with 15 mannequins dressed in thousands of fresh flowers (separate Museum admission).
