Thank you for your interest in LACMA's School Tours!  Fall 2025 tour assignments and bus announcements will go out by the end of the day on Friday, August 18th, 2025.

If you do not receive a tour between September 22, 2025 and February 13, 2026, our tour wait list will open in late September or the first week of October at gallerylearning.lacma.org

The 2026 spring semester school tours lottery will open on this page on Monday, November 10, 2025 at 9 AM. We look forward to seeing you at LACMA this year!

Bring your K–12 students or after school, camp, or scout groups for a self-guided tour of LACMA’s collection! A limited number of groups can be accommodated each day. LACMA requires at least one adult for every 10 students, and chaperones must remain with their group of 10 students at all times. Email schooltours@lacma.org at least two weeks in advance to reserve your place.

Beginning in October 2022, professors can arrange a docent-led tour of LACMA's collection for their class. Guided tours can take place after 12 pm on weekdays and after 10 am on weekends; tour groups are capped at 20 students, and will include the exploration of one exhibition of the professor's choosing, led by a trained LACMA docent.  

Reservations for docent-led tours must be arranged at least three weeks in advance, and are subject to docent availability. Email schooltours@lacma.org to make tour arrangements. College students working toward a degree receive complimentary admission for a docent-led tour when accompanied by their instructor.
