Welcome from
Kathy Acerbo-Bachmann, Director of Art & Architecture Programs Ask
any architect, architectural historian, or critic and they'll tell you that Trinity
Church is a masterpiece of American architecture. Dedicated in 1877, Trinity presented
a bold, fresh new face and feeling for ecclesiastical architecture in America.
The Church continues to be heralded today as a celebrated example of "Richardsonian
Romanesque" design, named after its architect, H. H. Richardson. The Department
of Art & Architecture Programs at Trinity illuminates the history and detail
of the building and enhances the experiences of the more than 100,000 visitors
at Trinity each year. We hope you'll visit us!
Are you curious about why Trinity has appeared on the architectural community's
"top ten" lists of significant buildings for over 100 years? Perhaps
you'd like to know more about Trinity's stained glass? Or have you always wondered
about the story behind that big, interesting building in Copley Square? Art &
Architecture Programs at Trinity offers parishioners and visitors the chance to
explore art and history in-depth through tours, lectures, symposia, and other
events throughout the year. Trained tour guides bring the story of Trinity alive
and ensure a warm welcome for guests. Also, don't forget to visit The
Shop at Trinity, named one of the "Best of the New" by
Boston Globe Magazine in 2006.
