Public Tour

Looking for a relaxed way to explore the museum? This 50-minute guided tour takes you through the People's Collection, featuring over 5,000 years of art and culture. It's perfect whether you're visiting for the first time, stopping by after grabbing lunch at the café, or simply wanting to learn more about what's on display. Your docent guide will lead the way—they might explore multiple galleries, highlight specific artists, or walk you through the basics of how art is made and appreciated. Since tours vary based on which docent is available that day, you'll get a slightly different experience each time. Everyone is welcome, from curious toddlers to art-loving grandparents. The best part? It's completely free with general admission. Just show up at the public tour sign in the West Building, and you'll meet your guide there. No advance registration needed—it's a casual, welcoming introduction to the museum's collections.
