Are audio/media guides available?
The Museum does not presently provide audio-guide listening devices for individuals or groups. However, certain artworks in our collection may feature additional resources, including audio recordings, videos, extended descriptions, and more, available on our website.
Will I receive confirmation of our group order?
Yes, you will receive a confirmation via email once your reservation has been officially booked. Reservations are not guaranteed until you have received confirmation from the Group Sales Office.
What if our group has less than 10 people on arrival?
If you have booked a Docent-guided tour, you will be asked to purchase seven tickets regardless of the number of people who have arrived. Self-guided groups with less than 10 members will no longer qualify for a discounted group rate and will need to pay full admission.
Is there a group rate?
If you are planning a self-guided visit, you will receive a discounted group rate ($3 off general admission pricing) for adults and seniors (65+ years) on the day of your visit. Group visits with a Docent-guided tour are not eligible for discounted admission.
Can we have a tour guide?
Docent-guided tours are available with at least four-weeks notice prior to the desired date of visit, pending availability. The tours are approximately one hour in length.
Do I need a confirmed number of attendees when booking our reservation?
No, you may give an estimate of attendees when booking your group visit. Please update us at least 48 hours in advance if the number of attendees significantly increases or decreases.
How does our group check in?
On the day of your visit, you will need to check in at the guest services desk in the Museum’s main entrance, located in Greenbaum Lobby, to make a single payment for all group members and receive your tickets. All members of the group must self-identify that they are part of a group reservation to ensure they receive the correct tickets.
