For the past 15 years the Maier Museum has provided free learning-based tours of the art collection to elementary school children. The tours are supervised by the Museum’s curator of education and led by volunteer docents who undergo rigorous training in the history of American art, the contents of the Museum’s collection, and interactive touring techniques for children. Approximately 1500 children tour the Museum with their schools every year.

From a note to the Museum from one of these students (spelling intact):

“Thank you for taking us on a tour of the art. I relly like the pichres. I really liked all the stuff in that place. It gave me a idiea and my idea is to be come a fames artest win I grow up. This was the grates place I ever been to and you’re a grat tour guide.”
