A “docent” is a knowledgeable guide. The term often refers to someone who volunteers at a museum. Our docents lead tours at the museum and the John and Mary Pappajohn Sculpture Park. The Docent Program requires two years of training. Additionally, there is a commitment to attend weekly classes led by art experts.
