Museum Docents and Tours

Museum Docents are highly trained volunteers who lead programs and tours. To become a docent, please see our Volunteer Opportunities area.

These tour programs are given throughout the day. They use the Museum collection to demonstrate how the human race has gone from flying primative gliders to exploring alien worlds!
