Heritage Interpretation Training Center New 2016 Course for Gallery Tour Guides A Curators guide for helping their docents/volunteers create truly interpretive gallery tours for Art and Traditional Museums. Techniques for revealing the hidden stories and meanings in art and artifacts for presenting dynamic and inspirational interpretive tour experiences for your visitors. 12 Units, 2 CEU Credits Course Tuition: $200.00 _www.heritageinterp.com/a_curators_guide_for_developing_gallery_tours.html_ (http://www.heritageinterp.com/a_curators_guide_for_developing_gallery_tours .html) While gallery tours by docents/volunteers are a staple at art museums and traditional museums as well, most education curators would like the tour to be more than a "Wikipedia" tours of "just the facts". Interpretive tours are focused on a theme and revealing a story to the visitors - with objectives (outcomes) they want the tour to actually accomplish. This training course will help curators help prepare their docents for tours that: 1. Have an interpretive theme. 2. Have accomplishable objectives. 3. Has about 7 tour stops, each of which illustrate the main interpretive theme. 4. Use interpretive communications structure for each stop (provoke, relate and reveal). 5. Use the techniques of tangibles and intangibles in their presentation. 6. Encourage the use of multiple senses to relate to visitors. 7. Have a provocative introduction and then ending conclusion summary for the tour. 8. Have as much "inspiration" as "information". 9. Leave the visitors asking for more (when's your next tour?).
