What Is An Art Museum?

Thursdays and Fridays

The Museum tour offers students a deeper understanding of how a museum works, not just what it contains. Students will accompany a trained museum educator to view and discuss how a museum staff chooses and installs exhibited works of art, informs patrons of what they see, and how they maintain the quality of pieces of art that are hundreds and even thousands of years old.
