Museum Tours
The Sonoma County Museum’s multi-faceted educational offerings reach students, teachers, families, and the general public. Education programs evolve from Museum exhibitions and encourage a deeper understanding of artistic, cultural, and historical themes. Our exhibitions include an education area with hands-on exhibits and other relevant materials. The Museum also hosts Free Family Days and community events in connection with many of its exhibits.
