The Modern Friends Tour expands the offerings of the Extended Tour (see above) with a visit inside Philip Johnson’s on-site architectural work-space, the Library/Study (1980). Approached through a field of tall grass, the Library/Study overlooks the Ghost House (1984) and contains Johnson’s collection of historic and contemporary architecture volumes as well as the prototype for Frank Gehry’s iconic bentwood Ribbon chair.

Modern Friends visitors are entitled to a membership with the National Trust for Historic Preservation and a 10% discount in the Glass House Store. $50 of this ticket purchase is tax-deductible and supports ongoing preservation and education efforts at the Glass House.
