K–12 Virtual Visits

K-12 Virtual Visits include an engaging discussion with digital images of artwork from the Nasher Museum of Art collection. Visits encourage critical thinking, careful looking, and thought provoking discussions.

A Nasher staff member will lead the conversation through the Zoom meeting platform. Once a meeting is scheduled, Nasher staff will send the organizer a link to the meeting for the scheduled date and time. Please share this link with your students.

Conversations last approximately 30-45 minutes. Groups are limited to 30 students at a time. If you expect more than 30 students to participate, please request multiple time slots.

Museum Mysteries

Recommended for grades K-8
Available October 4 – December 10, 2021 
Students will don their detective caps as they look for clues, make observations, draw conclusions and try to answer:  Who? What? When? Where? Why? How? And What happens next? We will explore artworks spanning nearly 500 years – from the mid-16th Century to just a few years ago – as we collectively solve Museum Mysteries!

All Art is Contemporary

Recommended for grades 6-12
Available October 4 – December 10, 2021
