    School Information

The Museum is now accepting requests for school group guided visits to occur June 26 through August 16, 2013. Appointments can be made no less than 3 weeks in advance. A separate form must be submitted for each visit, and we will do our best to accommodate your request(s). However, due to high volume, your visit is not confirmed until you have received a confirmation number via email from the Museum.

The Museum limits guided school visits to 3 visits per school, per semester. Before submitting your request, please consult your school's administration and calendar regarding bus maintenance days, testing, school holidays, and half days. Please note that not all visit topics are available at all times.

Tourism professionals working with school groups must contact the Tourism and Group Services Division at 212-570-3711 or mettours@metmuseum.org to request appointments.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art's school tour program is made possible by the generosity of Lewis B. and Dorothy Cullman.

About Your Group

  • General education
    Inclusion (general education classes that include some special education students)
    Integrated Co-Teaching (ICT) (classes in which a general education teacher and a special education teacher teach students with and without disabilities together)
    Special education (classes of students with IEPs taught by special education teachers)




Group Size (required)

In order to respond to high demand, we must limit each school to no more than one group of up to 50 students per day. Exceptions are considered on a case-by-case basis only. You will have the opportunity to describe any particular concerns about your group's arrival in Step 3 of this form.

  • Include teacher. We require 1 chaperone for every 10 students. For special education classes, which may have fewer than 10 students, we require 1 chaperone for every 9 students. Each required chaperone is charged the student admission rate; each additional chaperone is charged the adult group admission rate. (One teacher or group leader per reservation receives complimentary admission.) The Museum reserves the right to limit the number of adult chaperones participating in school group guided visits.
