It's not too late to host a tour! Tour Day events can be hosted by nearly anyone interested in or with access to a significant modern building or site. Tour Day events can also be much more than just a tour. Some of the best events include pre-tour lectures, meet-and-greet with the architects and post-event receptions. If you have an idea for a tour that celebrates modernism in your area and would like more information, email us at tourday(at)docomomo-us.org.
