Description
Find the hidden treasures downtown Roanoke holds with its unique sampling of art and architecture! Local historian James Moser will lead you on a lively walking tour to discover more than a dozen examples of intriguing styles ranging from Classical to Art Deco and Ultra-Modern, all while sharing interesting trivia both native Roanokers and visitors alike will enjoy. Please be advised that this tour, which lasts just over an hour, includes moderate physical activity, specifically walking, beginning at the Museum on Salem Avenue and ending in the central business district near the Poff Building on Franklin Road. Come with your walking shoes, open ears, and engaging questions! This tour is considered the companion to another tour featuring the downtown area immediately surrounding the Museum that James also leads. No need to have taken that tour to enjoy this one, though! Registration required. Members $10 | General Public $15 | Youth $5 Add to Calendar Driving? Get Directions Share This!

More about Taubman Museum of Art
The Taubman is a striking 75,000 square foot Randall Stout-designed building that's hard to miss. Inside are a dozen galleries and a steady rotation of exhibitions throughout the year. They also run evening events, lectures, and community nights that bring in a different crowd than the usual downtown flow. Even if you're just passing through, the space itself is worth seeing.
