About This Event

Step into a world of hidden wonders on Cabinets of Curiosity: A Collection Manager’s Look Inside Morven Park. This exclusive behind-the-scenes tour invites you to explore the Morven Park Mansion through the eyes of its Collections Manager, David Roettger. From rare objects gathered across continents to surprising details tucked away in everyday furniture, you’ll uncover stories that most visitors never hear.

Examine the mansion’s oldest artifact, search for secret drawers concealed within elegant writing chests, and peek inside wardrobes that hold more than just clothing, they hold history. Every stop reveals the craftsmanship, mystery, and global connections woven into Morven Park’s collection.

This intimate, 60-minute tour is limited to just 12 guests, offering a closer look and plenty of time for questions. Recommended for ages 12 and up.

Please plan to arrive at least 10 minutes early to allow time to walk from the main parking lot to the Davis Mansion Visitor Center.
