Four docent-led gallery visits through the MFAH permanent collection. Students are divided into groups by grade level, from StoryTime in the galleries for the youngest to inquiry-based discussion for older students: learning to look at art, reading its symbols, and considering the mind of the artist.

✦ Dec 11 · Nativities across Galleries: Virgin and Child imagery from the medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque collections, just in time for Advent
✦ Feb 19 · Families across Galleries: mothers, children, and family life in art across cultures and centuries, from Cassatt to Chase
