Guided Tours

All year round, the Museum’s Education Department offers English, Spanish or bilingual tours of our permanent and temporary exhibitions.  Tours are tailored to all ages (including parents) and offer visitors an opportunity to learn about art and culture through the artwork on display and the thematic content explored by the exhibition.  In addition, visiting artists will often offer live demonstrations of artistic techniques featured in the exhibitions.
