Tours of the Vanka Murals

Guided tours, provided by trained, enthusiastic docents last about an hour. In this time, you’ll gain insights into Vanka’s art and the experiences that shaped his ideas. Our terrific volunteer docents discuss and answer questions about Vanka’s early life, his success in Europe and his life in America.

You’ll see why these murals that capture the themes of justice, injustice, immigrant experience, spirituality, community and motherhood within the context of 1937 and 1941 are still relevant today. Often described as “not your typical Church murals” — these larger-than-life images must be seen to be believed.
