mobile app tour

Welcome to Spencer Museum of Art! This tour will guide children of all ages on an art trek to see lots of different animals in the works on display in our galleries. Each tour stop will suggest how kids and their grown-up companions can look at and talk about the art together. The tour will present fun facts about the artworks and the animals they show. Each object is also accompanied by audio recordings and transcripts of a visual description and any text found in the galleries or in the app for visitors who are blind or have low vision or others who may prefer to listen rather than read. This tour begins at the top of the stairs or just around the corner to the right from the elevator at the big wooden horse.

P.S. There are a lot more animals in the Museum than we could fit into this tour. Keep your eyes peeled for other creatures along the way!
