COMMUNITY SESSION TOURS

Brooklyn: Grand Army Plaza

The education division of the Brooklyn Museum of Art (BMA), the second largest art museum in the United States, will present two programs that revolve around distinct exhibitions, audiences, and methodologies. In the first program, museum educators will demonstrate strategies for introducing first time elementary-school visitors to themes in the permanent collection galleries. In the second, held in the special exhibition Leon Golub, a museum educator and a teenage volunteer will discuss pedagogical techniques for preparing young adults to serve as gallery guides for adult visitors. Delegates will then be invited to participate in one of two supplementary visits to neighboring cultural institutions, either the Brooklyn Botanic Garden or the Brooklyn Public Library.
