2010/2011 School Tour Programs
Make your visit to the FAC a customized, unforgettable experience!
Custom Designed Tours
Plan a custom tour for your individual group focusing on specific curriculum studies such as history, foreign languages, or in-depth art awareness. Other custom options may include tours designed for special needs students (especially in the Tactile Gallery), tours in Spanish, or a one-hour art lesson only (no museum tour).
Bridging Memories Tours for individuals living with dementia
Bridging Memories tours are available for small groups of individuals with Alzheimer’s and their caregivers. The concept and training came through a program developed by the Museum of Moden Art (MoMA) as part of their Community and Access Programs. Download a flyer here.
Trained by the designer of MoMA’s original Alzheimer’s Project, the FAC docents build an accepting environment to engage participants interpreting museum pieces and creating connections. This tour provides mental stimulation and cognitive exercise for individuals with Alzheimer’s, as well as a forum for the exploration and exchange of ideas without relying on short-term memory. Be prepared for lively conversations!
