Daily Tours of the Collection:
Free docent-led tours of our collection are available Tuesday through Sunday at 1:30 pm. Tours depart from the Information Center in Sculpture Hall and are approximately one hour long.

School and Group Tours:
School and Group Tours are free and may be led by a trained docent (if requested) or may be "self-guided" by the teacher or group leader. If docents are not available on the date(s) you request, you can reserve a self-guided tour for your group (afternoons preferred). Groups should include at least 15 and not more than 60 people; docent-led groups will be assigned one docent for every 15 to 20 people in the group. School groups should include adequate adult supervision: one adult per 10 children.

All groups, whether led by a Museum docent or self-guided by a teacher, must contact the Museum to arrange a tour. Please allow at least four weeks' advance notice. Groups without advance reservations cannot be assured that their preferred galleries or times will be available.

Fees:
The Museum charges no admission fee for the collection. An admission fee is charged for featured exhibitions. A special student group rate (elementary through college) of $1 per student is available (reservations required at least 4 weeks in advance).

Tour Hours:
Tours may be scheduled for any time during open gallery hours. Tuesday–Sunday, 10:00 am–5:00 pm, and Friday, 10:00 am–9:00 pm. The galleries are closed Mondays and on Thanksgiving and Christmas Day.
