Brattleboro Museum & Art Center

Docent-led tours with activity: $5 per student Self-guided tours no activity: $2 per student, adults $4

At the Brattleboro Museum & Art Center we spend quality time with you and your students looking at art. During a tour, a museum interpreter (docent) facilitates a group discussion with selected works of art in a way that encourages students to find meaning in what they see and to express their thoughts verbally. Our hope is that students will find that the museum experience is accessible, and that art is relevant to their lives and experiences. The discussion portion of the viewing sessions are for the students. In order to succeed with our goals for the students, we ask that all chaperones please observe but do not comment or otherwise express opinions or give information.
In the final 45-60 minutes of the visit, staff or a docent will lead students in creating a work of art based on a current exhibit. All art created at the Museum goes back to school with the students.
