Museum Explorer! offers tours at both our Art and History Museums! The 2015 Art Program is inspired by an upcoming exhibition-featuring artist David Kimball Anderson and the History Program will feature artifacts pulled from our permanent collection that focuse on Los Gatos town history. Student activities include art projects at the Art Museum, hands-on activities at the History Museum, and storytelling by Jerry Falek at both locations.

There is a difference between looking at art and seeing art. Master Storyteller, Jerry Falek, will encourage students to look deeply at the artwork in the exhibition and guide them to create their own story. After touring the museum, students will participate in an art appreciation lesson and create their own original work of art related to the themes of the exhibit.
