Gallery Tour & Art Workshop for Learning Pods

Description

Enjoy a guided gallery tour of Museum exhibitions with one of our knowledgeable docents followed by an art-making workshop with a MAM art educator, for an in-depth 1 ½ hour creative experience. Our participatory tours encourage interaction, as students are guided to make observations while looking closely at artwork in current exhibitions. Students will then have fun in our studio making their own art inspired by the works on view. Choose from one of the thematic options below, or schedule a series of 4 visits so your children experiment with a variety of materials and techniques. Registration includes free admission to visit Museum galleries in-person following the lesson, at your own convenience.
