Community Speakers Program

We bring the museum to you!

Can’t make it to the museum to see our masterpieces or the current special exhibition? Or perhaps your group is planning a visit and wants a sneak preview of our can’t-miss artworks?

A docent from the Asian Art Museum’s Community Speakers Program (CSP) can deliver an educational and entertaining multimedia talk at your location. CSP programs range from special exhibition highlights to regional and academic themes to fun and fascinating topics.

Examples of available presentations include:
