Public Tour

Join a North Carolina Museum of Art docent for a guided walk through the People's Collection at the West Building. This 50-minute tour works wonderfully whether you're exploring the museum for the first time, stopping by after grabbing lunch at the café, or you're eager to learn more about the thousands of years of art and culture on display. Your guide may take you through multiple galleries, focus on particular artists, or teach you about the building blocks of art itself. Since tours depend on docent availability, what you experience varies from visit to visit. This is a free experience for all ages—no registration needed. Just look for your docent at the public tour sign in the West Building when you arrive. It's a relaxed way to get oriented to the museum or deepen your appreciation for what's here.
