Thematic Exhibition Tours

We invite you to practice observation, deep thinking, and active learning with Museum Educators as your guide. Participants will engage in discovery through discussion and activities from the Educator’s unique perspective. We employ close-looking exercises as a way to explore themes of the artwork on view. Educators select three to five artworks and lead discussions for learners of all ages, making meaningful connections to art.

Themes are inspired by Barbara Chase Riboud Monumentale: The Bronzes and vary depending on the Educator. Themes include movement and music, a conversation with Cleopatra, and poetry. Tours last approximately 45 minutes. A list of dates and themes are below and are subject to change based on the availability of the Educator. Space is limited; registration is suggested.
