Humor and Whimsy Twilight Tour at Washington National Cathedral

Come and explore humor and whimsy at Washington National Cathedral on Monday, July 22, 2019 starting at 6:00 pm.

Amid the majesty and grandeur of Gothic architecture are examples of amusing architectural details, puns, lighthearted carvings and stained glass cartoons. Discover a doctor in an old time buggy racing after a stork, a story in stone about a Nantucket sleigh ride, a wrought iron gate that unexpectedly wiggles, a dentist drilling a cavity in the tusk of his walrus patient and so much more!
