The Closer Look Tour takes place at the Montclair Art Museum, which is located at 3 South Mountain Avenue in Montclair and is open on Wednesdays through Sundays from noon to 5 p.m. The museum is closed in observance of holidays, such as the Fourth of July, so be sure to check out the website for any closings before you make your summer holiday plans this coming weekend.
