Glory of Stories for Groups

Building on the success of the Delaware Art Museum’s popular Glory of Stories program, a group version has been designed especially for children in daycare and preschool. Glory of Stories for Groups introduces children ages 3-6 to the Museum through storytelling and hands-on art projects. Following a story reading, Museum guides will lead the group to select works of art in the collection. The next stop is the Education Wing studios, where the children will create their own works of art. The program ends in Kids’ Corner, an interactive learning environment.

This tour option is offered throughout the week and is by reservation only.
Limited to 25 students.
Cost: $4/student.

In order to prepare for your visit, see below for a list of tour themes.
