How to join
Confirm which tours are running on the day of your visit at the Information Desk in the Museum Entrance Hall.
Join your tour a few minutes before its scheduled start time at the Information Desk, where our Visitor Services colleagues will direct you to the guide leading the tour. Groups are provided with Assistive Listening Devices (ALD), which amplify the guide's voice in busy galleries.
What to expect
Our guides lead interactive tours that are different each time. While they share their unique perspective and knowledge about the collections and exhibitions, we encourage you to make the tour your own by sharing observations and asking questions. We want to hear what you think!
This tour is predominantly indoors, with brief moments outside. There are a few specific stops for active engagement with individual artworks. Although benches are available in many galleries, seating may or may not be available depending on the route chosen by your guide.
Accessibility
Wheelchairs are available for free rental on a first-come, first-served basis at the Lower Tram Station above the parking structure and at the Coat Check Room in the Museum Entrance Hall.
