Experience the allure of the Fényes Mansion as daylight turns to dusk and the evening’s long shadows and softer illumination work their magic on the historic residence’s architectural details, antique furnishings, and important works of art.

 

This summer you can imagine yourself arriving as a guest to one of Eva Fényes’ famed soirees during our limited-availability 1906 Fényes Mansion Twilight Tours. In this introductory docent-guided tour, you will learn about the historic residence and its original owners, artist, art collector, and patron, Eva Scott Fényes, her husband, Dr. Adalbert Fényes, and their family in addition to experiencing the Mansion in the evening. As you cross the threshold, you will step into a home essentially unchanged from its days as a residence, showcasing Eva’s Victorian-style décor and the personal effects of four generations of this prominent family.

 

Admission includes a docent-led tour of the Fényes Mansion, and a Free Admission Pass for a future visit to the Museum’s exhibition galleries. For exhibition information, click here.
