Hi Julie,
Our museum, like most, has had to quickly adapt to virtual programming. We have tried both models that Nicole shared—filmed and via Zoom. For our filmed tours, we have had the highest engagement when these are live cast and then later
shared via social media. Usually our marketing team films the docent giving the tour and they share feedback or questions from the viewing public with the docent as he/she moves through the galleries. For our Zoom “tours” we are actually sharing a presentation
with images from the exhibition. This has worked well for both adult group tours and our school tours. We have found that the presentation method fosters a more engaging discussion with the participants.
I would be happy to chat with you more about these programs and share resources (we have materials for school tours that may be helpful). Just let me know!
Best,
David Matteson
