Description
In addition to its rich immigrant history, Pilsen is a virtual outdoor art museum. Home to over 300 resident artists and nearly 400 vibrant outdoor murals, it is a community that gifts visitors with the opportunity to learn an appreciation for a people’s very intimate journey. Our day will start off picking up our step-on guide who will share history of the immigrant culture, outdoor art, and architecture. We will stop to view some of the most prominent murals and visit St. Pius Church before heading to the National Museum of Mexican Art where you’ll have time to view the collection on your own. Afterwards we’ll head to Los Comales for authentic Mexican cuisine before heading home. Participants must be able to enter/exit the bus multiple times. Fee includes transportation, tour, Museum, lunch & lunch gratuity. Guide & driver gratuity are at your discretion. Please select your menu choice upon registration. All lunches come with a non-alcoholic beverage. Registration deadline is June 2.
