About this audio guide
This guide to the Elisabet Ney Museum in Austin follows the unlikely science tucked inside a sculptor's studio, where physician and philosopher Edmund Montgomery built a private tower in nineteen-oh-two to chase one question about the nature of life itself. You will hear how his research on cells and protoplasm won him a seat at the head of the Texas Academy of Science, and how the couple's story traces back to a loss they carried from Georgia. Best heard looking up at the tower Elisabet Ney built for him.
