Guided Tour

Guided Tour

    Led by our knowledgeable guides, the Guided Tour offers a rich account of David Parr's decorative processes and how his family preserved his legacy. Archival photographs illuminate how the house has changed over time, and audio recordings bring to life the voices of those who called 186 Gwydir Street home. Tours are limited to six guests at a time, and photography is not permitted, allowing for an intimate and immersive experience.

    Your tour will last approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes, with time after to browse our shop, archive area, and gardens.
