Tour the Beaux Arts-style Fényes Mansion and step back in time to Pasadena in the first decade of the 20th century. This 1906 landmark and architectural treasure was designed by architect Robert Farquhar with a later (1911) addition by Sylvanus Marston. The Mansion was originally home to artist, art collector and patron Eva Scott Fényes and her husband Dr. Adalbert Fényes and their family.

 

In this docent-guided tour you will learn about the historic residence and delve into Eva Fényes and her family’s unique multi-generational story. The home is largely unchanged from its days as a family residence. Cross the threshold to explore rooms showcasing Eva’s original Victorian-style décor, antique furnishings, and art collection.

 

Ticket includes the docent-led tour of the Fényes Mansion and admission into the Museum’s exhibition galleries.
