All times are local to the venue · America/Chicago
At Joslyn Art Museum, Gallery Volunteers choose works for a conversation intended to build visitors’ visual-literacy skills. The listed tour is Saturday, Nov. 14, from 1 to 2 p.m.
Gallery Volunteers select the works for each edition, so the tour changes from one date to another. Its scope includes the museum’s galleries and gardens, but the event listing does not name the works or map a route in advance.
That makes the tour a way into the museum’s collection, rather than a dependable stop for a particular artwork. If you have a must-see in mind, allow time to explore the museum separately.

Joslyn describes the tour as an interactive conversation that engages the senses and develops visual literacy. In other words, the hour is built around discussing art, not simply following a published list of stops.
The format may suit visitors who want to consider how they look at works as well as which objects they see. Those hoping to hear about a particular piece should keep the changing selection in mind.

The Nov. 14 tour draws its works from Joslyn’s galleries and gardens, with Gallery Volunteers making the selections for that date.
Joslyn’s regular Saturday hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., leaving time to visit other galleries before or after the tour.

The tour is drop-in, with no registration required. General museum admission is free during regular hours and includes the permanent collection galleries and most temporary exhibitions.
Some temporary exhibitions have a ticket fee for visitors ages 13 and older. Children 12 and younger enter those ticketed exhibitions free, and Joslyn schedules days when each ticketed exhibition is free to everyone.
