What stories can one museum tell about a place?

Discover the stories, people, and ideas that make Cape Ann a remarkable place. From familiar favorites to unexpected discoveries, this docent-led tour offers an engaging introduction to the Museum’s collections, exploring selected works of art and objects that illuminate the region’s artistic traditions, maritime and industrial history, and enduring connections to land and sea.

Rather than trying to see everything, each tour invites visitors to slow down, look closely, ask questions, and make connections across the collection. Highlights and routes may vary, making each tour a fresh opportunity to discover Cape Ann through the objects and stories held by the Museum.

Check in with Visitor Service at the desk at meet in the Central Gallery for the tour.
