Our docent Ron was excellent. He was very knowledgeable on the subject matter. Ron also clearly had a love of the Wharton Esherick furniture, and so forth. He was able to add personal information to the story and was able to answer all of my questions. It’s been a desire of mine to visit the museum to find out who this Wharton Esherick guy was, and my desire has been satisfied, and my interest has been piqued, and I would like to come back and visit and take one of the other tours in the future. Thank you all very much for the care you put into taking care of the museum and for for telling the story of Wharton Esherick .

I’ve already told handfuls of friends about what I experienced on the tour today. The tour guide was sensational. Full of knowledge and appreciation for the artists work. Also made the experience a very steady pace peppered with some humor. I’ll be back!
