Group Tour Q&A

What is the maximum group size for a guided tour?

We can work with groups of any size, but groups larger than 20 people may be split up into different galleries.

Can I request a specific art theme or focus for our group tour, like a particular collection or time period?

Yes! Our team of educators will work with you to create a tour experience that meets your needs.

If I request a tour, is it guaranteed to happen?

Unfortunately, demand for tours outweighs our capacity at the moment and not every tour request will be fulfilled. We will confirm tours on a first-come, first-served basis and encourage everyone to take advantage of our pre-made, self-guided tours.
