School Tours
Engage, explore, and connect with artworks on educator-guided or self-guided tours.
School visits may be arranged Tuesday through Friday at 10 am.
Trained museum educators lead our PreK–12 guided school tours. Tours are interactive and brimming with activities to help students connect with works of art.
- Phillips Educators are trained in inquiry-based learning, visual arts, and arts integration.
- Visits are 1 hour in duration and are free of charge.
- Please plan to arrive 5 minutes early, and factor in additional time if your group will need a bathroom break prior to the tour.
- Visits must be scheduled at least one month in advance.
- School groups cannot be greater than 25. One chaperone is required for every 10 students.
Before your visit, we recommend that you explore the following resources:
- Our educator resources to see some of our arts integration strategies, activities, and lesson plans.
- The Collection page to see which works are currently on view.
- The Visit page and Self-guide pages for additional information and resources.
