Announcing the Discovery Guide

– By Olivia Fales, academic programs assistant

Much of the art you’ll see in the Hammer Museum is contemporary art. Contemporary art can often be surprising, because artists like to push the boundaries of our expectations. Have you ever found an artwork that surprised you, confused you, or inspired you? If you’ve visited a museum with contemporary art, maybe you have! To help families and other visitors create meaningful connections to this kind of artwork, the Hammer Museum created the Discovery Guide. This guide can help lead you to discover all kinds of art and ideas through eye-opening activities. It’s your ticket to exploring the museum in your own way.

When you come to the Hammer,  just ask a staff member at the Welcome Desk or one of our welcome kiosks for the Discovery Guide. It’s yours to keep!
