Curriculum Connections
School tours of selected exhibitions support Tennessee State Standards by introducing themes that are relevant to visual arts, language arts, and/or social studies curricula.
Scheduling Your Visit
The Frist Art Museum offers a variety of options for online tours, including live (synchronous) docent-guided tours or prerecorded (asynchronous) docent-facilitated exhibition discussions.
Chaperone Requirements
All student groups must be accompanied by their teacher for the entire live (synchronous) docent-guided tour.
Scheduling Your Live (synchronous) Docent-Guided Tour
Live (synchronous) tours are led by a Frist Art Museum docent. They offer real-time looks at select works in an exhibition and encourage close study and conversation. These tours are each approximately 30 minutes long.
