Make your Gallery visits more fun and engaging with curious questions and creative storytelling! In this tour we use easy exercises and improv games that explore how we look at, speak about and interact with art in a variety of ways. Join Marise de Grip from Active Social Connections to learn how to have conversations about art, to think outside the box and appreciate different perspectives. Anyone interested in art, creative thinking or public speaking is welcome to attend. No experience is required. Meet your tour guide in our Millennium Wing Information Desk, near our Millennium Wing
