Enjoy a guided walking tour of this expansive 42-acre sculpture park and museum, followed by lunch of French country cuisine at the charming Rat’s Restaurant. In the afternoon, the Tony award-winning producer and contemporary craft collector Sharon Karmazin will welcome us to her home for an exclusive tour of a collection of art glass Karmazin has assembled over the last 25 years.
