Discovery Visits for Schools

Make your own discoveries at the museum! During a Discovery Visit, you can explore the galleries at your own pace, interact with activities at Discovery Carts throughout the museum, and drop by an art-making station. Unlike a traditional museum tour, you decide where you want to go, which museum facilitator you’d like to learn from, and how long you want to stay in each location based on students’ interests and what they are learning in class.

At our Discovery Carts, students can:

• Interact with touch materials and complete a scavenger hunt to make connections between their lives and the lives of people who lived long ago.
• Create their own art inspired by artworks in the Walters collection.
• Write and decorate a postcard related to a portrait or landscape.
• Make STEAM connections and learn about the science of caring for artworks by completing a conservation puzzle and scavenger hunt.
