Field Trip

Docent-Led School Tour

In this 75-minute tour for school groups, a docent volunteer leads one to ten (1– 10) students in a participatory conversation about Kemper Museum's current exhibitions. The maximum number of students per booking date is 50. We book by groups of 1 to 25 students. So, if you have 26-50 students, you will book two groups.

We require one chaperone or teacher per ten students. Chaperones are in addition to the ten-student tour group. Docent-Led School Tours must be booked at least two weeks in advance.

Kemper Museum admission, parking, and programs (like this one!) are always FREE, thanks to our members and supporters. Follow the Membership link on this page to learn more about member benefits and how you can support free access to contemporary art.
