The Discovery Tour provides an orientation and overview of the museum galleries and introduces guests to the art, history and cultures of the West and Native America. The Discovery Tour also steps into traveling and temporary exhibitions.

This tour is designed to dispel stereotypes and provide insights into both historic and present-day Native American cultures. Guides share hands-on materials with visitors and discuss Native American art and artifacts. This tour includes a stop in special Native American exhibitions.

Schedule a tour of the traveling and special exhibitions presented at the Eiteljorg.

Public tours are offered on weekends at 1 p.m. for no additional charge. They last for about an hour. Meet the Eiteljorg guide in the main lobby.

Experience the West and Native American cultures through hands-on learning. Special carts are filled with items related to art, toys, games, the mountain men, Western living, the Southwest, California, cowboys, Woodland and Plains quillwork and more. Hands-on on carts are available periodically throughout the week. This experience enables visitors to enjoy the museum's Western art and Native American collection through a number of senses.
