Tours
The Art Center offers guided tours of the museum and the Pappajohn Sculpture Park. The tours are as interactive as the group will allow, and address the permanent collections as well as any special exhibitions.
Self-guided tours are welcome during public hours at both locations and must be reserved ahead of time.
We offer special guided tours for non- or low-sighted individuals at both locations. Depending on studio availability, a tour and art project can be scheduled.
