Comparison and contrast

Consider incorporating opportunities for your group to compare and contrast during the tour, either with artworks on the tour (e.g., How does the color here compare to the last painting we saw?) or with an artwork close by the selected art (e.g., What are some similarities in all these ceramic figures? What are some differences?). This type of question allows visitors to make connections that could illuminate information you may then share about the artist or culture.
