Teaching general adult audiences in art museums requires the teacher to consider different goals and priorities than those of school, teacher, or family programs. In this reflective essay, one gallery educator whose primary museum teaching experiences had been with the latter audiences discusses a transition to leading public tours. He describes finding a balance between providing information and creating an open space for visitors to develop and share their own ideas about works of art. He specifically cites two elements of Visual Thinking Strategies that he found transferable from work on school programs to facilitating adult conversations in museums on public tours.
