BOOK A TOUR

Converse and Create Tours

A 30-minute interactive gallery tour and 30 minutes of art-making. These are ideal for adults of all ages and abilities who want to connect to their creativity and the wellness-enhancing effects of art experiences. The Converse and Create tour themes include:

Relax and Refresh
Focus on the connection between our bodies, compassion, and to the spaces we occupy. Where do you feel your best, and how can you bring those feelings with you throughout your day? This tour includes stretching and sketching, and an art opportunity to imagine your ideal space for relaxation and refreshment.

Portals
Ignite your imagination by encountering art objects as opportunities for creative expression and transformation. What happens when we allow a door to be a portal to possibility? This playful exploration includes sensory looking and improvised story-telling, and connects to the art-making, where visitors can participate in either collage or weaving to create their own portal.

Docent-led Highlight Tours

An hour-long, inquiry-based gallery tour led by a volunteer docent featuring opportunities for close-looking and discussion of artworks in the museum collection. These tours are a great way to learn more about the art and objects that the museum stewards. Choose from one of the below collection areas through which to explore the Walters.

• Highlights of the Walters
• Across Asia
• Renaissance & Baroque
