School tours are generally offered Monday through Friday between 11 am and 3 pm, however scheduled groups can arrange a private visit to the museum at no extra charge between 10 and 11 am if necessary.

A typical tour takes approximately 45 minutes in the gallery. Please inquire if you might be interested in an optional 45 minute time period in a classroom working on an art project that correlates with the exhibit. We can work with the teacher to provide the best experience for students.

After your school tour is scheduled, a docent will contact you to confirm the arrangements and review any special requirements.

Our World Language docents are available to give tours in German, Dutch and French.

Upon request, educators who schedule a tour will be given access to our online image gallery to be used in class for tour preparation and follow up. Museum staff will also email some previsit reminders regarding museum policies and conduct.
