PALM SPRINGS MODERN ARCHITECTURE TOURSWhen you visit Palm Springs, make sure you plan to see the city's extraordinary mid-century modern homes and buildings. One of world's best-preserved concentrations of modernist architecture, Palm Springs is a living museum where those who know where to look can find treasures by talented 20th century architects, elegant homes of many of Hollywood's brightest stars, visionary civic structures and meticulously preserved historic neighborhoods that capture the glamour, sophistication and flair of California's swingin' mid-century modern lifestyles.
Join architectural historian Robert Imber for an in-depth insiders' tour of modern Palm Springs. You'll see hidden masterpieces, hear the stories about who lived where, and learn about the talented architects and designers who contributed to the city's modernist legacy. It's a fun, fascinating full-immersion tour – perfect for anyone with an interest in art, design, history, architecture or the way sun-loving Southern Californians lived and played in the 1940s, 50s and 60s. "Robert Imber, the often seersucker-clad architectural guru and one-man show behind this tour group ... adds the kind of extensive, often quirky information that a brochure could never provide." - The New York Times
