What to Expect on a CAE Tour
CAE tours at the Martin Museum begin with a brief introduction to the Museum's history at Baylor and its role as a part of the Department of Art and Art History. After the introduction, we will highlight information and guide you through the current exhibition(s). When applicable, the tours will include demonstrations to help you better understand the artwork you will be viewing.
Time constraints may not allow you to take in the exhibition(s) to its full extent. We aim to introduce you to the Museum and the opportunities available during your time at Baylor and beyond. We are always free. We hope you will visit us often, and feel free to bring along friends and/or family members. Admission to the Museum is always free.
