Curious about works of art that aren’t always included on a BMA tour? Take a DeTour with us each Sunday, where we’ll spend 30 minutes focusing on a work of art that is off the beaten path. 

This Sunday, drop by and join BMA Teaching Fellow Jessica Chanel Davis as she facilitates a discussion on the Ep(iscop)us Vidit In Somnio Septe Stellas stained glass window located in the 19th c. European gallery.

Meet Jessica in the Main Lobby on the First Floor at 1:00 pm.
