Guided Tours
Guided tours are led by trained guides, are discussion-based, and engage 1st grade through adult visitors with the changing contemporary art on view in the Sculpture Park.
Self-Guided Tours
Self-guided tours of the Sculpture Park are available for all ages and may be enriched by deCordova’s audio tour available on cell or smart phone. Visit our mobile website for themed self-guided tour suggestions and more information on sculptures in the park, including audio clips of artists and curators talking about the process of making the work. Self-guided tours of the Museum exhibitions are available for adult and college groups.
