Guided Tours of the Onera Foundation

Join a 45-minute guided visit to the Foundation and its current exhibition.

The tour introduces visitors to Onera Foundation, its historic New Canaan home—an 1836 landmark once home to legendary editor Maxwell Perkins and listed on the National Register of Historic Places—and its mission and programs.

The visit includes a walk-through of AMERICA ABROAD: Art, Architecture, and Diplomacy, featuring rarely seen works from the Foundation for Art and Preservation in Embassies (FAPE) Collection by Carmen Herrera, Jasper Johns, Ellsworth Kelly, and many others. The exhibition also explores the evolution of American embassy architecture from the Cold War to today, including New Canaan’s connections to this architectural history.
