As the Bronx Museum is currently closed due to the coronavirus, they are offering an ongoing range of educational videos under the following headings:

The BxMA at Home: Guided Tours

In virtual Guided Tours, educators provide engaging tours of both current and past exhibits at the Bronx Museum, both providing background information and encouraging viewers to make connections and develop close looking skills. You can access the tours here.

The BxMA At Home: Art Studio

These videos feature educators demonstrating specific artmaking activities using materials that most can easily access at home. These activities may be inspired by current or past museum exhibits and focus either on an activity a child can engage with independently, or one that encourages family cooperation and collaboration. You can access the art studio here.

The BxMA At Home: Meet the Artist

Meet the Artist is a series of interviews with artists who discuss their practice, background, and work. You can hear artists including Firelei Baez, Latoya Ruby Frazier and Angel Otero talk about their practices here.
