Scheduling a Self-Guided Tour  

Planning to lead a self-guided tour at the Cincinnati Art Museum? Schedule your visit at least three weeks in advance by calling the tour coordinator at (513) 639-2975. Groups of fifty or fewer are permitted to self-guide during a one-hour time slot and are scheduled based on space availability. To provide the optimal educational experience, docent-guided groups have priority in the galleries. All groups must follow Art Museum regulations and are responsible for supplying one adult chaperone for every ten students.

If you are planning to conduct a self-guided tour between the hours of 9 a.m. and 1 p.m., you will be required to participate in a teacher training program at the Art Museum.  This training includes:
-Overview of self-guided tour policies and procedures
-Helpful tips on creating an effective self-guided tour
-Curriculum connections to your classroom
-Introduction to Art Museum collections and gallery orientation

At the conclusion of this training, you will be certified to bring groups to the Art Museum on a self-guided basis for a two year period.
