School and Youth-Serving Organization Visit Reservations

Notice for Large Groups: Exhibition tours can accomodate up to 60 students at once. You will need to plan staggered arrival and departure of students (preferred) or to spend more than 2.5 hours at the museum, with groups alternating between the gallery and another activity. Once you submit this request, FAM staff will be in touch to coordinate your trip itinerary.

Lunch instructions: Allow one hour for lunch. Upon arrival, you will be assigned a lunch space by the Guest Services Associate. If you are eating lunch BEFORE your tour, please check in at your designated arrival time.
