FAM Featuring Virtual Collection Tours

COOPERSTOWN—Beginning this month, Fenimore Art Museum is offering three different virtual tours focusing on the museum’s collections. Each of the tours will be offered on three separate dates. Tours take place on Tuesdays through March 12 from 2-2:30 p.m. and are conducted via Zoom.

The series kicked off with a live discussion on author James Fenimore Cooper, artist Thomas Cole and the Hudson River School of landscape painters on January 16, to be repeated on February 6 and February 27. Writer James Fenimore Cooper and artist Thomas Cole were friends whose works inspired a love for the American landscape. Manager of Arts Education Kevin Gray leads this live virtual tour exploring FAM’s collection featuring memorabilia from the Cooper family, as well as a variety of paintings by Thomas Cole and other key members of the Hudson River School, followed by a live question and answer session.
