A docent is an educated member of staff who is trained to give tours and provide information about all the featured artworks on exhibit in the museum and Sculpture Garden.
Docents receive an intense course each Monday and Wednesday morning in September to learn about 20th-century American art. Docents are also requested to attend monthly "briefings" to learn about recent installations.
After training, docents are required to give one morning tour every week or two school tours every other week, beginning in October and going through May. Occasionally tours are requested at other times and during the summer.
Sheldon docents also help with many other activities and events. For example, they may be stationed in our galleries during special events, such as Jazz in June. We also have a Docent Winter Study Series.
To learn more about becoming a docent, please contact Karen Janovy at 472-4524 or kjanovy1@unl.edu.
