Ñý¼§Ö±²¥

Docents are volunteers who conduct interactive tours of the museum for schools, Ñý¼§Ö±²¥, and the general public of all ages. 

They also conduct research into 12,000+ art items in the MMAC Permanent Collection. Docents come from all types of backgrounds; some have art qualifications, some have no formal art education, but all share a passion for art in its many forms. 

They endeavour to stimulate curiosity and encourage discussion of how art has impacted world history, our daily lives, and the human condition.

MMAC offers free, public docent-led tours. For further info, visit our Tours page.

Docents are recruited if they are enthusiastic about art even if they have no formal art training or qualifications. Training will be provided.

Training will include:

• Provision of a mentor who will help the new docent for as long as needed.
• New docent training sessions at least twice during the year.
• Shadowing several experienced docents for 1-5 tours, before or after new docent training. All new docents are expected to attend new docent training.
• Orientation and training for each new exhibition by the MMAC director, curator or exhibition artist.
• Participation in docent "Round Gallery" meetings.
