Docent-guided Tours

The Castellani Art Museum offers a variety of exciting school and group tours highlighting works from our permanent collection, Freedom Crossing: the Underground Railroad of Greater Niagara, and a number of special exhibitions. Tour groups are limited to 60 people. Suggested donation is $2 per person. Teachers/chaperones are free.  Please make arrangements at least three weeks prior to desired date.

New!  Monthly Free Docent Tours

The museum is offering a free docent tour to the public once a month. The 30-40 minute tour will include an overview of the museum’s current exhibitions plus Freedom Crossing: The Underground Railroad in Greater Niagara.  The CAM has always had free admission, but the new once a month tour provides an opportunity for visitors to get to know the museum in greater depth and see the latest exhibitions on display. Reservations are not necessary for the docent tour. Meet at the museum’s reception desk where your docent will begin the tour promptly at 2:00 p.m.

The next public tour is scheduled for 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, November 20, 2011.  

A docent talks with students about “Understanding Works of Art,” one of the many tours offered at the CAM.

School tours often include hands-on art experiences.

For more information, or to schedule a tour for your school or organization, contact the education coordinator, Marian Granfield at 716-286-8367.
