Class Visits

School Tour or Tour with a Gallery Activity
Explore the current exhibitions with a Museum docent who will emphasize careful observation and introduce discussion themes to help your students develop visual and analytical skills. School tours typically last an hour and fifteen minutes, and can be tailored (with advance notice) to focus on a particular theme or to incorporate a gallery game or writing exercise.

School Tour and Activity in the Education Center
Adding an education center activity to your school tour provides your students with an opportunity to experience hands-on many of the materials and processes employed by the contemporary artists on display. The education center can accommodate 30 students.

Customized Curriculum Connections
Customized Curriculum Connections offers teachers a way to integrate classroom projects with a featured artist or exhibition theme, by building in valuable one-on-one time with Museum education staff to specially plan and develop materials in advance of your visit.

Pre-K and Kindergarten
The Aldrich provides an experience that combines the processes of looking at and making art for these new art viewers. Teachers can call the Museum to set up an exhibition-specific project in our galleries.
