Inspired by Wright Tour and Activity
This hands-on Frank Lloyd Wright Tour demonstrates how Wright saw geometric shapes as underlying forms of nature and applied them to almost all his work. As you tour the Monona Terrace Community and Convention Center, you’ll learn how this unique site influenced Wright’s choice of geometry, which is expressed in nearly every aspect of the building and grounds. Then, you will use this newly gained knowledge and put together geometric forms to create your own Wright-inspired glass piece of art. This is an Essential Madison Experience, a hands-on experience designed for adults and young people alike. It’s authentic, immersive, and uniquely Madison.
