DOCENT GUIDED EDUCATIONAL TOURS OF THE MUSEUM School Tours: Docent-led tours are free of charge to chaperoned school groups when they are scheduled in advance. Large groups will be divided into ten or less students. Teachers and additional chaperones must accompany students. Group Tours: Groups will be charged the regular admission fees and can be scheduled in advance for specific times. You may request a tour for a special interest group or a tour given in Spanish. Walk-in Tours: Docents will be available to give tours to walk-ins on a daily basis (Tuesday through Sunday) at 10:30 am and 2:30 pm. Groups will be limited to ten people and should meet the docent at the designated location in the museum lobby. ACTIVITIES FOR YOUTH AND FAMILIES AT THE MUSEUM Possible Bags: Families attending the museum can check out a leather bag, based on a colonial New Mexican pouch in the exhibit, at the admissions desk. The "possible bag", so-called because it had limitless possibilities to carry things, contains educational materials for hands-on learning. The contents of the bag are targered to youth of all ages and promises to be fun for the whole family. Laminated cards have pictures and questions to orient the youth to the galleries and exhibits. Activities inside the bag encourage families to become explorers and artists and provide take-home art projects. The bags can be checked out free of charge during regular museum hours. Interactive Youth Art Gallery: At the southeast corner of the museum a small gallery of youth artwork doubles as an interactive area for youth to engage in hands-on art activities and to try on historical costumes. Table and chairs create a reading area where children's books in both Spanish and English are available. Costume Nicho: Reproduction of historic costumes from Spain, Mexico and New Mexico hang on pegs next to a mirror for viewing. Costumes are accompanied by laminated cards that provide pictures and information on the origin and use of the clothing in a historical context.
