Docent-Guided Visits

Docent-guided visits provide college and university groups with the opportunity to connect with works of art through careful looking and group discussion. Docent-guided visits include the collections and/or special exhibitions, and can be customized to meet your group's area of interest. Led by trained volunteers, tours last one hour and are free of charge for university student groups in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.

Docent-guided visits are available Tuesday-Friday beginning at 10:00 a.m. Professors may also schedule docent-guided tours during Museum hours on Thursday evenings and on weekends.

Docent-guided tours are available for all areas of the Museum's collections, as well as the following special exhibitions:

• Youth and Beauty: Art of the American Twenties Bring the "Roaring Twenties" to life in Youth and Beauty: Art of the American Twenties.  Paintings, sculptures, and photographs illustrate American life between the end of World War I and the beginning of the Great Depression.
• Mark Manders: Parallel Occurrences/Documented Assignments Multifaceted and thought-provoking, work by this poet-turned-artist encourages interdisciplinary study and will stimulate discussions among not only among visual art students but also students of archaeology, anthropology, and literature.

Self-Guided Visits

Professors and instructors can also schedule self-guided visits for independent exploration of the Museum's galleries. Self-guided visits are available during regular Museum hours only: Tuesday-Sunday, 11-5; Thursday, 11-9; closed Mondays.

On Thursday evenings, professors and their students can also chat informally with artists, poets, architects, and Museum staff in the exhibition Mark Manders: Parallel Occurrences/Documented Assignments. The In Residence program will occur every Thursday from 6:30 to 8:45 p.m. between January 15 and April 15.
