Art Across the Curriculum Tours

Art Across the Curriculum Tours are in-depth Museum experiences that explore the connections between art and other curricular areas, particularly language arts, history, and social studies. At the end of the tour, each student receives a Free Family Pass, which enables students to return to the Museum with up to four people for free.

Educators who reserve an Art Across the Curriculum Tour will receive a Teacher Preview Pass in their confirmation packet, which is good for free admission for two people. Educators are strongly encouraged to preview Museum exhibitions to help shape a comprehensive learning experience for their students.
