Description
Newseum volunteers provide both Orientation and Three-Point tours to our visitors. Three-Point tours are 10- to 20-minute tours in a single gallery that link together three artifacts, objects or images sharing a common theme. Orientation tours are 60-minute building tours designed to provide visitors with navigation information as well as a brief overview of the exhibits. These tours are structured, not scripted, allowing you considerable flexibility to design informative tours of particular interest to you that can be modified to meet the needs/interests of your audiences. - See more at: http://www.newseum.org/about/volunteer/#sthash.Y7nimIyH.dpuf
