Making Sense of Art

Adults from senior care facilities, retirement communities, and independent learning centers are welcome to join theme-based art lessons for a multisensory experience. Led by docents, this program actively engages participants through thoughtful observation of an artwork, sharing ideas, and relating narratives to their own life experiences.

Docent Program

Docents facilitate teaching from the museum’s collections, special exhibitions, and architecture. They lead interactive tours for visitors of all ages and abilities as well as teach specially designed programs. Becoming a docent requires a three-year commitment: one year of training followed by two years of service.

Access Programs

The Yale Center for British Art welcomes people of all abilities to visit and participate in educational programming and tours.

Colleges and Universities

Faculty from all departments at nearby colleges and universities are invited to explore the rich educational opportunities afforded by the study of original works of art. The Yale Center for British Art's collections can be searched online.
