It is a great privilege to be a docent at the Minneapolis Institute of Art. Mia opened wide its massive doors over 100 years ago and our docent core celebrated over 50 years of touring in 2013. The museum is entry free and touring docents encourage connections, critical thinking, exploration and being yourself. It is indeed an honor to be affiliated with Mia, an inclusive museum and to be serving with the talented group on the National Docent Symposium Council.
