DOCENT GUIDED TOURS

The Museum is launching a formal volunteer docent program in which adult volunteers, in the role of museum educators, will offer their knowledge and insights about art to stimulate the awareness and interests of others. The discussions that take place between docents and museum visitors create a relationship between the viewers and the art—leading to a sense of understanding, a feeling of engagement, a moment of pleasure. Visitors of all ages can make connections between their own lives and the valued works of art and their history represented by the Museum’s collections and exhibitions.
