Everybody loves a feast!  So it’s not a surprise that SAMA has lots of objects related to celebratory foods, their ingredients, and their preparation and serving. Go around the world with Docent Rasa Silenas to look at who’s partying, why, and what they’re eating. (You'll even get some recipes to take home and try yourself!)


Off the Wall is a curated tour series that explores special topics across SAMA’s collections. Each session is developed and facilitated by passionate docents who can’t wait to share the stories behind SAMA’s most captivating artworks and hidden gems.

In order to ensure an optimal experience, Off the Wall tours are limited to 25 participants. Places are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Please check in at the front desk to secure your place on the tour.
