Art Matters did a September 27th tour of Kirk in the Hills in Bloomfield Hills
Our private tour of the Kirk was a great experience covering the rich history of such a jewel in this city. A tour of the entire church was a very thorough education – including information about the architecture, stained glass windows, artworks, tapestries, the gardens and so much more. A great time was had by all.
