Field Trips and School Tours
At Smithsonian American Art Museum, we involve students in the experience of viewing art and enable them to make meaningful connections to their curriculum and themselves. Students of all settings and ages are welcomed, from kindergarten to college.
Guided tours
Guided school tours require reservations. Please book at least one month in advance. One week before your visit, your guide will contact you to discuss your content and curriculum connections. To make a reservation, complete and submit the School Group Request Form.
Self-guided tours
With a self-guided visit, you are free to explore the collection in a way that best suits your class. For students in kindergarten through second grade, we suggest that you concentrate on a few objects. For older students, we recommend one hour of focused looking and thirty minutes of discussion about the artworks. Teachers are invited to consult with the museum staff regarding the content.

Security policies
Security check is required for all visitors. We recommend that groups leave bags on the bus or at school. Pocketknives, scissors, and other sharp tools are not permitted. To speed entry into the museum, carry as little as possible.
