Docent Tours

The Harvard Art Museum offers two guided tours every weekday, which are free with admission. At 12:15pm each day, a docent will lead a "Focused Encounter" tour that focuses on a particular work, works, gallery, or theme. At 2pm each day, a docent will lead a "Highlights of the Collection" tour. Tours last from 40 minutes to an hour, and start in the lobby of the Arthur M. Sackler Museum.
