The Eiteljorg Museum offers insightful programs and tours that explore the cultural diversity of the American West, examine the unexpected West of the imagination and celebrate Native American and Western art, history and cultures. When you visit, your students will learn about the Indigenous peoples of North America and the American West in ways they have not before. They will hear fascinating stories and learn about cultures, from centuries ago to the present day. Students will see paintings, sculptures, pottery, artifacts and more, as well as interactive exhibits that will enhance their understanding of the subject matter. Student tours are updated throughout the year to coincide with special exhibits and new acquisitions. A tour from a month ago might look completely different from a tour tomorrow. When you book a tour, ask Eiteljorg staff about possible visiting artists in residence, special exhibitions and seasonal events and programs that might be taking place on the date of your visit. Prepare for an upcoming visit or extend the lesson with online educator resources. These materials are great for lessons in the classroom, but also serve as a great toolkit for students who are looking to expand their subject knowledge.
