Museum Tours The Museum houses a wonderful collection of art and offers many educational programs for both children and adults. SDMA docents are a vital part of the Museum’s education program. Museum docents (teacher-guides) are available to present tours of the permanent collection and special exhibitions to adults, children, and special interest groups while providing personal contact with original works of art. One-hour tours are scheduled Tuesday through Sunday at 10:00 a.m., 11:00 a.m., 1:00 p.m., and 2:00 p.m.Tours in Spanish and other languages are available upon request. No tours are available on the third Tuesday of the month, as the Museum is free on this day. School Groups Tours are available for students in grades 1-12. In addition to tours, the Museum offers children’s workshops and slide and PowerPoint programs for students. Requests must be made at least three weeks in advance. For additional information, please see Museum Tours for School Groups.
