I requested and received from our local museum a copy of the script that
the guides use during the tour.  It was an excellent way to pre-teach
vocabulary before going.

Many museums provide docents to take visiting groups around.  They are

usually volunteers and the service is free.  This gives your students 
an excellent opportunity to listen to another person in english as well

as to learn about community resources.  Abbie Tom
