Visitor Information

On a docent-led tour of Evergreen, you will see 15 rooms of the Gilded Age mansion, including the 30,000-volume John Work Garrett Library, plus many objects ranging from Tiffany glass and Asian ceramics to paintings by artists such as Picasso, Modigliani, Raoul Dufy, Zelda Fitzgerald, Diego Rivera, and David Driskell. The tour takes approximately 75 minutes to complete. Visitors with time constraints can request a shorter version of the tour by speaking to visitor services staff and/or your docent before the tour starts.

Due to the historical nature of the building, only parts of the museum are accessible to those with limited mobility, including those using a wheelchair or a walker.

Wheelchairs and walkers can be accommodated in The North Wing (Gallery, Far East Room, Bakst Theatre, and Gift Shop). To request special accommodations, call 410-516-0341 or email museums@jhu.edu.
