For Educators & Students

Free Tours

Teachers and school groups are welcome to visit the Museum during regular Museum hours. Discussion and activity-based group tours are available free of charge; please call 713 284 8274 at least ten days in advance of your visit. Teachers who plan self-guided tours should also call to confirm the exhibition schedule and to make sure that other large groups are not pre-scheduled. This is to ensure the safety of the artwork, as well as the maximum enjoyment of your group’s visit. You may also wish to ask the age-appropriateness of the exhibition, or how to adjust the tour to meet the specific needs of your classroom.

Teens

Many of the Museum’s events for teenage audiences are programmed by the Museum’s Teen Council (TC), a group of Houston area teens who work with the Museum staff to create events especially for their peers (and the young-at-heart). For upcoming events, check our calendar. TC accepts applications each spring for the following school year. Click here to submit an online application. Application deadline is Friday, May 14, 2011.
