Parents and toddlers share a fun time at the museum with these interactive

Self-Guided Tour:
Groups that prefer to explore the galleries on their own are welcome to
take a self-guided tour of the museum. Gallery maps are available at the
Information Desk, and study materials are available in the Bishop Study
Center. To avoid overcrowding in the galleries, we ask that self-guided
tours call ahead for an appointment.
Art for Life from MetLife:
Outreach volunteers can bring the museum to you. If any senior citizens’
group is unable to visit the museum, trained volunteers can provide lively,
interactive presentations featuring images of art from the Harn Museum
collection at any local senior residence or elder care center. Art for
Life is funded by the MetLife Foundation through its Museum Connections
program.
