Docent services are not only accessories of exhibitions, in many occasions, docents serve as secondary curators re-interpreting the exhibits. In this special "travel agency", docents will become the protagonists. By displaying information about several representatives of creative and cultural related docent tours we have selected, together with free guided tours during the exhibition period, we examine the creativity, cultural mission and the motivation in the design and execution of docent tours. Meanwhile, audience can gain first-hand experience and engage in art and the community through participation of different tours.
