Frey House II Tours:
A rare opportunity to see the residence of the late modernist architect Albert Frey. Frey Two as it’s called, is impossibly perched on a mountain precipice above downtown Palm Springs and is barely 1,000 square feet. Frey bequeathed his tiny gem to the Palm Springs Art Museum to be used solely to further the study and practice of architecture. Due to these restrictions, its location and size, Frey ll is seldom open for the public to see. This 45-minute guided tour for a limited number of participants will provide a unique experience and insight to the architectural sensibility of a modern master. Don’t miss this chance. A shuttle van will transport participants of each tour from the Museum to the Frey House.
Tickets: $50 each and benefits the Architecture and Design Council.
