See the Spencer through young eyes by touring the galleries accompanied by audio podcasts from Southwest Junior High School eighth-graders. As part of a Communications Class project, 15 students visited the museum, studied the artworks and chose one to use as an inspiration for a minute-long podcast. The narratives brief the listener about the selected work and also incorporate the students’ own observations and reactions.

Download the files for your own player here or pick up a pre-loaded mp3 player at the front desk when you visit the museum.
