11:00am–11:45am Enrich your experience of our current exhibitions through a docent-led tour of the galleries.

Interaction and questions are encouraged, and visitors of all ages are welcome. The tour is free with museum admission, no registration required. Please plan to meet in the museum atrium, main level, near the front desk before the tour begins.
