How the Guggenheim becomes a classroom

For a full semester, second graders take part in weekly double art periods at the Guggenheim through a signature partnership with the museum. Inquiry-based and co-taught by Guggenheim educators and Saint David’s art teachers, boys deconstruct masterpieces in the Tannhäuser Collection and explore the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright’s iconic design. Their work culminates in a docent-style presentation for families and guests, as boys expertly guide visitors through the collection.
