Guided Museum Tours are led by trained docents and feature works of art from the permanent collection and special exhibitions on view. At the end of the tour, each student receives a Free Family Pass, which enables students to return to the Museum, free of charge, with up to four people.

Educators who reserve a Guided Museum 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.
