The Deborah and T. J. Day Foundation School Tours Program

Nevada Museum of Art School Tours take a student-centered approach. Through inquiry-based, standards-aligned, grade-specific content, Pre-K – college students are encouraged to explore interdisciplinary arts integration topics while making meaningful connections with art from the Museum’s collections and exhibitions. Tours are aligned with National Core Arts Standards and Nevada Academic Content Standards.

Optional pre- and post-lesson plans designed to further enrich your students learning experience at the Museum will be sent to all confirmed tour bookings.

Underwriting for busing is provided by the Museum for public and charter schools from Douglas and Washoe County School Districts.

Virtual tours available upon request. In-person and virtual tours are available in Spanish upon request.
