About this Event
Event Photos
This is an all-ages, half-day event! Families are encouraged to join us for a multi-sensory tour of the San Antonio Museum of Art.
"...visitors can touch replicas of the artwork, created by SAMA interns specifically for these tours. Additionally, docents use props they picked up from antique stores and garage sales to give more texture, weight and size to the objects being discussed. So, if a fine, ancient vase is the art piece in question, visitors can feel the shape of a prop vase."
