Group Tours and Visits

Adult and university groups visiting The Phillips Collection can arrange for guided tours or self-guided visits.

The museum's group coordinator can suggest local restaurants which accommodate larger groups.The Phillips also offers school visits for student groups.

Reservations must be made at least two weeks in advance.
