Nevada State Museum is offering training Jan. 10, 11, 17, and 18 for those interested in becoming a museum tour guide. Training runs from 9 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. each day. Volunteers must be at least age 15.
“Participants will receive four full days of stimulating discussion with curators, educators, and scholars who create a training environment that's both educational and fun. Volunteers are inspired by the quality of the speakers and the potlucks are just super,” said Deborah Stevenson, curator of education for the museum. Guides meet new friends and enjoy hands-on experiences and field trips.
The museum's diverse collections provide unlimited subject matter, so the biannual training is always fresh and new. No prior experience is required and all materials are provided free. To register, contact the Education Program at 687-4810, ext. 237 or dstevenson@nevadaculture.org.
Winter 2012 training provides something for everyone, with topics ranging from Native American oral traditions to the history of firearms and Nevada's state symbols. Field trips include tours of the Dayton Museum and the Marjorie Russell Clothing and Textile Resource Center. Science and art lovers may enjoy children's nature programs and a mini Antique Roadshow.
The museum is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday. Changing exhibits include: My Nevada II, nature photography by John King; Dress and Designer, featuring Kathleen Sandoval's inaugural gowns; Nevada: The Photography of Cliff Segerblom; and Slot Machines: the Fey Collection. Admission: $8 for adults and free for children 17 and under and museum members. For information, call 687-4810. The Nevada State Museum is one of seven managed by the state Division of Museums and History, an agency of the Nevada Department Tourism and Cultural Affairs.
