Public Museum Field Tour

Public Museum Field Tour

The Field Tour Program is designed for children of all ages to journey through Asia’s rich and diverse cultures. The program runs Sunday from 2 to 3 pm and is free for children .

We are excited to offer a special tour designed just for children.

On this tour, Children will embark on a journey through the rich and diverse cultures of Asia. Our expert guides will take them on a fun and educational exploration of our exhibits, including vibrant pottery, intricate sculptures, and fascinating artifacts from different regions of Asia.

Children will learn about the art and traditions of China, Japan, Indian and other countries and discover how these different cultures have influenced each other over time. They will get to see real artifacts, learn about their history and meaning, and even create their own art inspired by what they have seen.

Our tour guides are specially trained to engage children of all ages and make learning fun and interactive. We use stories, games, and other activities to help children connect with the art and cultures they are learning about.

Not only is this program educational, but it’s also a fun way for kids to experience the museum. They’ll have the chance to ask questions, interact with exhibits, and engage with other kids who share their curiosity. Come and join us on this special children’s tour of the Heritage Museum of Asian Art, and let child’s imaginations soar as they discover the wonders of Asian art and culture. We hope that the Field Tour Program will inspire a lifelong love of learning and exploration in the kids who participate.
