Museum Visits

                Teachers are always encouraged to bring their classes to the museum.  Guided tours of from 45-90 minutes can be arranged anytime Monday through Friday.  The museum needs at least a week’s advance notice of a visit to make arrangements for docents.  The layout of the museum dictates that classes must be broken into groups of 6-10.
