Enhance your classroom studies with a tour of the Anderson’s latest exhibition. Shows change several times a year and highlight The Anderson’s permanent collection as well as works from independent artists, other museums, galleries, or private collections. Led by staff or trained volunteers, gallery tours are designed to stimulate thinking and discussion among students of all grade levels. The emphasis is on art appreciation and an introduction to the museum experience. Consider bringing your school or adult group, scout troop, or home school students. Special thematic tours may be arranged with advance reservations.

Focus on the architectural features and history of The Anderson’s Carnegie Building, originally built as Anderson’s public library in 1905. Tours may be geared to students from grade 3 and up as well as adult groups.
