Show Suntfay Jtfternoons in tlie Museum ( The Education Department is organizing weekly Gallery Talks, video films and other events for Museum visitors on Sunday afternoons. During winter and spring, 1989, some Docents will be contacted to give Gallery Talks on special topics in their area of knowledge. As the Hostesses (see above) are not knowledgable about details of art history and the collection, they are pleased when a Docent is present on Sundays to answer specific questions or conduct a mini-tour for a few interested visitors. All major museums have a Docent tour of some aspect of the collection regularly on weekends, and this is much needed in our Museum. As most of you know, only a few Sunday visitors will want to listen to a Gallery Talk or have a mini-tour, and these experiences are usually very rewarding for the Docent, giving opportunities to share more information and answer visitors' questions. It is a nice way to begin serving adult visitors, as well. Sometimes only two or three people gather round when the tour or talk is announced. As speakers have already been scheduled for Gallery Talks through May, we would like to request that individual Docents volunteer to be in the Museum between 2:00 and 3 :00 p.m. to offer a mini-tour or answer questions each Sunday. The Gallery Talks are scheduled at 3:00 p.m. Even if no one wants a tour, this is a nice time to spend in the galleries! . If each Docent would volunteer one Sunday a year, we could cover every Sunday afternoon! Won't you consider signing up for a Sunday •.this year?
