Enjoy a summer evening exploring The Glass House at your own pace! During your self-guided visit to the campus, you will have free access to the Glass House, Brick House, Painting Gallery, and Sculpture Gallery.  

On view this year in the Painting Gallery is Tomashi Jackson and Robert Rauschenberg: The Catch One. Featuring newly commissioned paintings by Jackson in dialogue with works by Rauschenberg from the historic site’s permanent collection and the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation, the exhibition contributes to a global slate of 2025–26 initiatives that reexamine Rauschenberg’s legacy, honoring his expansive creativity, spirit of curiosity, and commitment to change. 

In the Sculpture Gallery, encounter the large-scale works by artists including John Chamberlain, Bruce Nauman, and Frank Stella that were collected by Philip Johnson and David Whitney. 

Our expert educators will be available across the site to provide information and answer questions.
