Join a dedicated community and expand your understanding of the American West! Autry docents provide guided tours of core galleries and special exhibitions to diverse audiences while gaining intimate knowledge of the museum and its collections. You don't need a degree in art or history!
Classes meet from 10:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on select Saturdays from July through September (dates to be confirmed). Attendance at every class is critical to successfully completing the class.
Apply early, as class size is limited.

The Autry Museum of American West acknowledges the Gabrielino/Tongva peoples as the traditional land caretakers of Tovaangar (the Los Angeles basin and So. Channel Islands). We recognize that the Autry Museum and its campuses are located on the traditional lands of Gabrielino/Tongva peoples and we pay our respects to the Honuukvetam (Ancestors), ‘Ahiihirom (Elders) and ‘Eyoohiinkem (our relatives/relations) past, present and emerging.
