Visiting
The Chinati Foundation is open by guided tour only. Public tours are available Wednesday through Sunday. Because of the amount of time necessary to view the entire collection, the tour is split into two parts, with a break for lunch between the two sections. Tours begin promptly at 10:00 am, break for lunch around noon, and resume at 2:00 pm for the second half of the tour. In addition to the Full Collection Tour, the museum also offers a Selections Tour, covering work by Donald Judd, Dan Flavin and John Chamberlain (11:00 am – 1:00 pm) and a tour covering the work by Donald Judd (3:45 pm – 4:30 pm). The closest airports to Marfa are in El Paso and Midland/Odessa. It is about 3-hour drive from either airport.

“I have no connections here; only gusty collisions,
rootless seedlings forced into bloom, that collapse.
...
I am the Visiting Poet: a real unicorn,
a wind-up plush dodo, a wax museum of the Movement.
People want to push the buttons and see me glow.”
—Marge Piercy (b. 1936)
“Mrs. Sneed and her daughter, Miss Austine Sneed, are visiting us—Washington correspondents of excellent character.... We are much interested in their accounts of Washington affairs. Nothing could be further from our desire than to return to Washington and again enter its whirl, either socially or politically, but we are interested in seeing Washington with the roof off.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
