Planning Your Visit We look forward to welcoming you and your students to the Museum. Here are some tips to make the most of your visit.
Name tags: Each student and adult in your group must wear a name tag that you supply. These act as your admission into the Museum.
Requesting a Tour Request your tour by calling the Tour Scheduler at 414-224-3842 or filling out the online form at mam.org > Learn + Play. Order buses/transportation early.
Plan the length of your visit. You have the option of self-guiding the Museum (without a docent) before or after your docent-guided tour. Just let the Tour Scheduler know if you plan to stay longer.
Tell us about any special needs when you request your tour. The Museum is wheelchair accessible. Assistive listening technology or an ASL interpreter for people with hearing impairments is available.
Please Note: No changes in head count or program/tour will be accepted after the twoweek deadline. The Museum cannot offer a refund if your head count decreases after your payment has been made, and cannot accept payment at the door. Prepare students for your trip by watching the Museum Manners video at mam.org/u/museum-manners
4
Clipboards/pencils (optional): If you would like to have your class write or draw, please bring your own clipboards, pencils, paper, or other drawing materials. Remember that only pencils are allowed in the galleries to protect the artwork.
do not bring... Your lunch! The Museum does not have on-site lunch facilities for school groups. Please plan your visit accordingly. The Tour Scheduler can supply you with an up-to-date list of alternatives.

Your bus cannot park on N. Art Museum Drive, but it may park along Lincoln Memorial Drive, in Veterans Park, and at other public locations.
Be on time; arrive no more than 15 minutes early. Note that if you are late, your tour will be shortened. If you are more than 20 minutes late, your tour will become a selfguided tour. If you are delayed, please call the Tour Scheduler at 414-224-3842.
Organize student groups: 10 students and one chaperone per group. Each student and adult will need a name tag; this acts as their admission into the galleries.
