Teacher Guides

Teaching Packets

Teaching Packets are pre-visit materials designed to prepare students for their experience at the Frist Center. Available for selected exhibitions, teaching packets contain color reproductions and a teacher’s guide with exhibition information, curriculum connections, related activities, and resources. These materials are automatically distributed to educators who schedule docent-guided or self-guided tours.

Teaching packets from past exhibitions are available for checkout in the Frist Center’s Art Library and Resource Center. Select teacher’s guides are also available online (requires Adobe® Acrobat):
