Glass House + Marcel Breuer House Study Tour

May 1, 2026

Visit two important examples of mid-century residential architecture on a half-day study tour of the Glass House in New Canaan, CT and the Marcel Breuer House, also known as The House in the Museum Garden, on the grounds of  The Pocantico Center in Tarrytown, NY. The tour is organized by the Glass House.

The tour day starts at The Glass House, where an expert educator will guide a small group on a 90-minute tour of the site including the Glass House, the Brick House, the Painting and Sculpture Galleries and the sprawling 49-acre landscape. On view will be the 2026 season exhibition of Tomashi Jackson and Robert Rauschenberg: Catch One along with sculptures from the permanent collection.

The Modernist experience continues at the Marcel Breuer House with a special tour led by Kimberly Miller, managing director of Greenrock Corporation and Katrina London, curator of The Pocantico Center of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund. Katrina London is responsible for the stewardship of the museum collections within Kykuit and its environs at Pocantico, which includes supervising the conservation and care of works of art, curatorial research, and organizing exhibitions and educational programs. Kimberly Miller is managing director of Greenrock, which oversees security and maintenance for the buildings and grounds at Pocantico. Together, they will discuss the history of the house and how it was moved from the sculpture garden at MoMA to the suburbs of New York City, along with the house’s art and furnishings and how it is maintained and used today.

Visit the tour website to see a full agenda for the day.
