To accommodate the high demand for school tours, LACMA awards guided tour placement through a lottery system. Beginning Monday, July 21, at 9 am, we will be accepting school tour reservations for tours taking place between September 22, 2025, and February 13, 2026. These tours are for K–12th-grade students.
Tours will be offered Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays and will take place in the Modern Art Galleries with "Cultivating Critical Thinking: Highlights of LACMA’s Modern Art Collection." The tours will include five or six objects, with a 10-minute discussion at each object, including grade-level appropriate questions and activities.
Please visit this page on July 21 to register for a free guided tour!
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.
