The museum provides a broad range of programs that explore the cultures represented in the museum's collection and exhibitions, and which are designed to reach all levels of education (k-12, college, and adult) and awareness of art (novice through expert). Free docent-led tours of the collection galleries and special exhibitions are conducted throughout the day. The museum's storytelling corps offers entertaining and educational programs for children and adults relating to artworks on view. School programs include a variety of industry-based activities: all class tours are interactive and emphasize observation skills, critical thinking, group work, and peer presentations.
