SCHOOL TOURS
ABOUT
Thank you for your interest in a MoAD guided tour!
We have designed participatory and engaging art experiences that aim to spark curiosity, inspire creativity, and support your learning objectives. We offer in-person tours that are approximately 50-minutes long. Our tours are customized to meet the unique needs of each group, ensuring a personalized experience. We can accommodate K-12 school and youth groups of up to 35 individuals, including chaperones. We kindly request that school groups bring at least one chaperone with them, and chaperones may be asked to help and/or support to students during the tour.

During your visit, a member of the MoAD security team may remind you of these rules. Your cooperation will help make the museum a safe, welcoming space, and preserve the art for others to enjoy.
MoAD will be closing to the public temporarily in 2025 to upgrade items in our interior spaces and galleries. Due to this extensive work, the museum will be closed from March through September, but will continue to host programs and events off-site in collaboration with many of MoAD's local partners. We look forward to welcoming the public back in October 2025 as part of our 20th anniversary celebration!
