Exhibit Tours
Trained docents lead the way through the Museum, telling stories and providing insights. These tours can range from a quick overview of the entire museum to deeper explorations of areas of interest to your group, whether that’s learning about the many Indigenous cultures of the Colorado Plateau, the fascinating geologic formations, the evidence of dinosaurs and other ancient creatures that roamed here, or the pottery, jewelry, textiles, and other arts. Exhibit tours are available when the museum is open.
Behind-the-Scenes Tours
