The Davis Museum and Cultural Center is pleased to offer guided tours, free of charge, for regional K-12 school groups. Tours are led by Museum Mentors: Wellesley students training in the Davis permanent collection, exhibitions, and museum education techniques. In most cases, classroom visits can also be arranged. Bus scholarships are available to schools on an as-needed basis, and to all schools in the district of Framingham.

School tours:

  • Provide students with direct experiences with works of art;
  • Emphasize critical thinking, written and oral expression, collaboration, and hands-on activities
  • Connect to Massachusetts Department of Education standards;
  • Promote college awareness by involving the students and campus of Wellesley College.

To set up a visit or for more information, contact Alexa Miller at abriggs@wellesley.edu, 781-283-2116.
