Open up new perspectives with one of the Whitney’s courses, drop-in discussions, or artmaking workshops. These offerings are opportunities to dive deeper into art at the Whitney and engage with experts in the field.
Tours
Free gallery tours through the Whitney’s current exhibitions are offered each day. Private group tours led by Teaching Fellows or Museum Educators are also available for an additional fee with advanced registration.

Take a free walking tour to discover the vibrant queer history of the Whitney Museum's surrounding neighborhood. Explore select historical sites where the LGBTQ+ community once found a place to connect and create.
