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" tour 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?).
