The Docent Council

Docents are trained guides and educators, offering complimentary tours to museum visitors on a daily basis.  Mingei International Museum Docents provide a general introduction to the Museum’s mission, history and collection by interpreting current exhibitions for visitors of all ages.  The Museum offers a ten month Docent Training Program that focuses on a variety of learning styles and approaches, combining hands-on experiences with demonstrations, research and visual analysis.
