Walker School Program - Virtual School Tours

Bring the magic of Crystal Bridges straight to your classroom! Stimulate your students’ minds with the same art exploration and discussion you would enjoy on an on-site guided tour—this time with more flexibility and viewing possibilities.

Conducted on Zoom or Google Meet, virtual tours include an online presentation of artworks, special video clips and multimedia components, and an interactive conversation with one of our expert Museum Educators. You even have the option to request an in-person visit from a Museum Educator, who can lead multiple classrooms per day through virtual tours. Artworks on this tour are not limited to what’s currently on view in the galleries, and instead can focus on any piece in our collection—making for a dynamic, engaging, and expanded experience.

Tours typically last one hour, but can be modified to fit your class time.
