On May 31 at 11:00 am, join us at Eastern State Penitentiary Historic Site for a special iteration of our Guide-Led Tour & Discussion. This one hour tour includes an overview of the penitentiary’s history as well as the contemporary art installations throughout the site. At the conclusion of the tour, join a Q&A with artist Mark Loughney, whose mural Pyrrhic Defeat: A Visual Study Of Mass Incarceration, is now on display for a limited time at the historic site.

Due to limited capacity, the best way to secure your spot is to purchase timed tickets online in advance.
