Home school tours

Tours are designed to present a rich visual arts experience, increase students' perceptual and critical thinking skills, engage students in active looking and discussions, and enrich and extend school curricula.



Free Home School Tours

The Brooks is pleased to offer free tours to home school students and their parents. On selected days during the school year, the museum’s trained volunteer docents provide thematic tours of the museum’s permanent collection and special exhibitions. Students 5 and older also participate in a hands-on, art-making activity that complements the content of their tour. While the older students are in the studio, pre-school aged children enjoy story time.

Tours are held from 11 am-12:30 pm and 1-2:30 pm. Individual reservations are required, but there is not a minimum number per group. For upcoming events and activities please view the family fun calendar here.
