Public Tour

Join a knowledgeable docent for a guided exploration of the North Carolina Museum of Art's People's Collection. This 50-minute tour is perfect whether you're visiting for the first time, stopping by after grabbing lunch at the café, or simply want to discover the museum's impressive span of art and culture spanning over 5,000 years. All ages are welcome to participate. Tours vary based on what your docent chooses to highlight—you might explore multiple galleries, learn about specific artists, or discover the fundamentals of art itself. Just meet your guide at the public tour sign in West Building, and there's no cost to join. Keep in mind that tour availability depends on docent schedules, so what you experience may differ from visit to visit.
