Self-Guided Visits - FREE!
These must be Pre-Scheduled
What are self-guided visits? Self-guided visits are
museum visits educators lead themselves, so Museum Interpreters (docent guides) are not provided. If
possible, teachers are encouraged to visit the exhibition before bringing their
classes on a fieldtrip. Background information to successfully lead a self-guided
visit is provided through resource materials available on this website. Note that at this time there are only online materials related to the Paths of Life exhibition.
To make your group's experience a positive one, we require that self-guided
visits be pre-scheduled. In this way, we avoid overcrowding or having your
visit conflict with guided programs. These visits require at least one adult
chaperone per 8 students.
