Frey House II Tour + Museum Day Passes

Frey House II is recognized as an outstanding example of Modernist architecture. Architects, scholars, and students worldwide come to Palm Springs to study and appreciate Albert Frey's work. His unique understanding of function, form, practicality, and love for the desert landscape give us this extraordinary legacy.

Hosted by Palm Springs Art Museum, these self-guided tours are a rare opportunity to see the residence of Modernist architect Albert Frey.

A shuttle van will transport ticket holders to the Frey House II from Palm Springs Art Museum's Aluminaire parking lot on the south side of the museum.

Tickets can also be used for free admission to both the Palm Springs Art Museum and the Architecture & Design Center from February 13–23, 2025 any day except the days the museum is closed. Please check the museum website at psmuseum.org for hours of operation. Access to the Aluminaire House exterior grounds is free during business hours.

A twilight tour and bubbly for a limited number of guests at Frey House II is available at 4:30 PM each evening. This tour is for ages 21 and older.
