Programs K-12 Students
Trained volunteer docents are available free of charge to guide school groups through Chazen Museum exhibitions. Teachers may select one of the following topics based on the permanent collection:
- Whistlestop
- What is an Art Museum?
- Sun, Sea, and Land
- Ancient and Classical Art
- American Art
- 20th Century Art
- Let's Run Away to the Art Museum
Or teachers may work with the museum's curator of education to develop a tour specific to class needs. Docents are also available to give guided tours of temporary exhibitions. Tours are free of charge to school groups. However, appointments for tours must be made at least three weeks in advance. Tours can be scheduled Tuesday through Friday between 9 am and 4 pm; most tours last one hour. Up to 75 students can be accommodated at one time; however, they will be subdivided into groups of no more than 12, and each group requires an individual docent.
To schedule a tour of the permanent collection or a temporary exhibition, or for more information about the school tour program, contact the curator of education. If any individual in the group has special needs, the teacher should indicate this at the time of the tour reservation.
