Storytime Family Tour

About this event

Second Thursdays, monthly

9:50-10:30 a.m.

The San Diego Museum of Art

Enjoy interactive conversations, close-looking activities, and age-appropriate storytelling that help families explore works from The San Diego Museum of Art’s permanent collection and special exhibitions while discovering artistic elements such as color, shape, texture, and storytelling in art.

Each tour is inspired by the day’s Storytime theme, creating meaningful connections between books and works of art. Participants will be encouraged to share their observations, ask questions, and engage with artworks through imagination and play.

Please arrive at 9:50 a.m. to check in with Museum docents at the front steps of The San Diego Museum of Art and prepare for the tour. The tour will begin promptly at 10:00 a.m. when the Museum opens and concludes at 10:30 a.m., when docents will guide families directly to The San Diego Museum of Art Library for Storytime.

Together, the tour and Storytime offer a unique opportunity for children and caregivers to connect art, literacy, and creativity through a shared museum experience.

Recommended for families with children ages 3–8. All ages are welcome. Includes Museum admission. Advance registration requested.
