There are several types of school group visits. Cancellations If you must cancel your appointment, please call the reservation line and listen for the cancellation option. The option to cancel is available twenty-four hours a day. Fees cannot be returned to groups that cancel their reservation with less than two weeks notice. Staff-Guided Tours Students and teachers may explore the collection with a Museum staff member, who will lead discussions and exercises designed to encourage critical thinking in response to original works of art.
Tours are appropriate for the group's grade, level of ability, and subject of interest.
Before your group visit, we urge you to familiarize yourself with the Museum by visiting the Uris Library and Teacher Resource Center , where educational materials are available, and to consider participating in one of our teacher workshops . The Museum cannot guarantee access to all galleries at all times. Appointments are required of all school groups visiting the Museum. These tours are designed to give your students in first through third grade an introduction to the Museum, to initiate an art vocabulary, and to stimulate a growing appreciation of the visual arts. All programs include sketching in the galleries.
