Tours at Plains Art Museum create space for people to slow down, look closer, and connect with each other and the artwork. Guided tours are led by trained staff using a visitor-centered and inquiry-based approach and can range between 45-60 minutes.
Enhance your museum experience with hands-on making in our studios. Adaptable for any age, ability, and arts background, our trained teaching artists focus on developing artistic skills, building connection within a group or team, and provide a fun and engaging experience.
We ask any group of seven or more people to inform us about your planned visit at least three weeks in advance, even if you are not interested in a guided tour. This helps us adequately prepare for your visit and prevent overcrowding in the galleries.
