Public Tour

This is a public tour of the North Carolina Museum of Art's People's Collection, lasting 50 minutes. It's a free experience perfect for families visiting the museum, whether it's your first time, you're stopping by after grabbing lunch at the café, or you simply want to explore the thousands of years of art and cultural artifacts on display. The tour takes place in the West Building, and all ages are welcome to join. What you'll experience depends on the docent leading the tour—they might guide you through several galleries, focus on particular artists, or teach you about the fundamentals of art itself. Since tours vary based on docent availability, each visit offers something a little different. Just look for the public tour sign in West Building when you arrive, and meet your guide there to get started. Best of all, there's no cost to participate!
