We welcome school, camp, and day-care groups wishing to schedule a general museum visit or a visit to a specific area of the museum without an Art Institute docent, but these groups must make an appointment. A confirmation, museum rules, and chaperone guide will be mailed to you. Please discuss museum rules with students and chaperones in advance.
Museum determines date and time of entry.
Total number of students in the museum at any time is limited to ensure the best possible educational experience for everyone. Self-conducted groups must always yield to gallery tours conducted by Art Institute staff and docents. Failure to adequately supervise your students may result in your group being asked to leave the museum. Just check the box on the application to receive your copy and return the video at the Columbus Drive entrance when you come to the museum. All self-guides encourage students to think critically and creatively about original works of art.
