Each month, a new book is selected by a board of Mia guides, who curate a tour based on artwork currently on display throughout the museum. While many guides revisit staple pieces for each novel, every tour offers a unique opportunity to explore how literature and art reflect one another. The hour-long tour winds through the museum’s endless galleries, showrooms and a “Gatsby at 100” exhibit room. While the tour centers on “The Great Gatsby,” guides emphasize the importance of understanding the social and cultural influences of the Jazz Age, the era in which the novel is set. As stated in the “Gatsby at 100” exhibition, “The Great Gatsby” turns 100 in an era, like its own, that pulses with ambition and excess.
