School and Group Tours | Grades K–12

Our tour program for schools introduces students to the contemporary art on view in the Wexner Center galleries and our building's unique architecture. Guided tours are highly individualized, interactive, and age appropriate. Tours can be customized to fit your course objectives in language arts, social studies, history, visual arts, foreign languages, and other subjects; we develop resources for each exhibition and make them available to teachers. We encourage you to strategize with us about how we can plan your tour to enhance classroom curriculum. Gallery admission and docent-led tours are free for students.
