What is a Docent?

A docent is a volunteer who teaches visitors about art in the Museum’s galleries. Docents create meaningful experiences with Museum visitors as they explore the world through works of art. They inspire and nurture discovery by encouraging visitors to look more deeply into artworks, and they help to enrich the lives of others by connecting people to art and the Museum.

What is the mission of the docent program?

We believe in the power of art and the power of people, and the magic that happens when both come together. The docent program will only achieve its full success if we all commit to participate and contribute to transforming our docent corps into a community of learners.

Our program will thrive if we all invest in the program, in each other and in the process of learning.  If we can accept this commitment, the Museum will become an even better place, benefiting its public and its City.
