During your visit to the Museum, you are invited to join a docent-led gallery tour. Gallery tours are informative and eye-opening. They provide an opportunity to experience and discuss a selection of artworks in a relaxed, informal setting. Gallery tours are free with Museum admission, and begin in the lobby at the State Street entrance. 

Docent-Led Tours of Special Exhibitions
Daily at Noon.  Focus talks explore a special exhibition or particular collection, such as Antiquities, American, Asian, European, Modern and Contemporary art or Photography.
