Public Tour

Bring your family for a guided exploration of the North Carolina Museum of Art's People's Collection. During this 50-minute tour, a museum educator will lead you through galleries filled with thousands of years of art and cultural treasures. Depending on the docent leading your group, you might focus on specific artists, survey multiple galleries, or learn about the fundamental principles of art itself. There's no cost to participate, and families of all ages are welcome to join. This tour is perfect for first-time visitors, a nice activity to enjoy after grabbing lunch at the museum café, or anytime your family wants to deepen their appreciation for art. Simply meet your docent at the public tour sign in the West Building when you arrive. Keep in mind that the specific galleries and themes covered can vary based on docent availability, so each tour offers a unique experience.
