Public Tours

Join us for a public tour! Led by our incredible docents, public tours take visitors through the museum’s collection and special exhibitions. More of a guided conversation in the galleries than a traditional lecture, our interactive tours share surprising stories and fun facts and encourage visitors to form personal connections with the art on view and each other.
