Self Guided Tours

Visitors to the Norton are encouraged to take a Self Guided tour with our large array of brochures. The pamphlets may be found in the lobby of the Norton, or you may download them here.

Each brochure provides a thumbnail image of the works on the tour and a brief description of the work related to the theme of the tour. A formal header in each column indicates in which museum gallery the work may be found.
