There are two types of tours: Public or Group Tours and Private Tours.

1. Public or Group Tours

For public or group tours, contact Visitor Engagement. Visits can be self-guided or guided tours which are led by VE staff and concentrate on building tours, museum history, and artist interventions.

• Group Size: Usually for groups of 10 or more visitors. Maximum group size is 30 visitors, which would be divided into two groups. 

• Availability: Reservations are only available during business hours, beginning at 12:30pm Thursdays-Mondays. Last time offered is one hour before the museum closes

• Special Exhibitions Requests: Curatorial team is contacted when there is a request for a specific exhibition tour.

• After-Hours Requests: If there is a request for outside business hours it depends on who the request is coming from. Development and Curatorial will be contacted depending on whether the visitors need a different touch.
