Guided Visits
In an hour-long thematic gallery tour that builds upon classroom learning, we introduce students to three to five works of art through discussions and activities that incorporate the artist’s voice and process.
Guided visits with a Museum Educator are free for all New York City public schools in kindergarten through twelfth grade. All other schools may visit at a cost of $200 per group.
Group size is limited to twenty-five students or less, with a two-group limit per tour time. For more detailed information on group sizes, tour dates, and tour times, please refer to the online tour scheduling form below.
Free customized guided visits are offered to school-aged visitors with disabilities and diverse learning needs.

Self-guided tours (for high school students only) may be arranged during regular Museum hours. Self-guided visits must be scheduled in advance. For more information or to schedule a self-guided tour, go to Book a Tour.
All programs address the New York State Learning Standards and focus on school curriculum areas including art, English language arts, social studies, and technology. Programs address the New York City Blueprint for Visual Arts Strands I–IV.
