The Opera della Metropolitana's Education Department has devised tours and activities for schools from kindergarten through to sixth form throughout the monumental complex comprising the Cathedral, the Museum, the Baptistry and the Crypt. The scheme aims to involve students in the history of Siena Cathedral from its origins to the 19th century, so we have planned a series of educational tours designed to allow students to explore the themes, approaches and "statutes" of Sienese culture that reflect the city's role in broader artistic movements rather than reflecting purely sectoral or marginal aspects. The outstanding richness and variety of the collections in the monumental complex of Siena Cathedral allows teachers to supplement the activities in their school curricula with tours designed to further their students' cultural education and maturity.
Tours led by art historians are available every day of the week (weekdays only).For detailed information on the tours available, please contact our cultural office:
