In order to respond to high demand, each school is limited to no more than 30 students per day. Exceptions are considered on a case-by-case basis only; you will have the opportunity to explain your situation in the Visit Information section of this form.

We require one chaperone for every ten students. Each required chaperone is charged the student admission rate; each additional chaperone is charged the adult group admission rate. (One teacher or group leader per reservation receives complimentary admission.) Museum visits are free of charge for schools located within the five boroughs of New York City. Qualified tour operators are eligible for discounted rates. The Museum reserves the right to limit the number of adult chaperones participating in school group guided visits.

You have requested a guided visit. These hour-long tours are led by trained Museum educators and volunteers and offer amazing opportunities for your students to make the most of their encounters with great works of art. Our educators engage students in fun, learner-centered, inquiry-based conversations that foster curriculum connections and encourage important learning skills such as evidence-based reasoning and critical thinking. Guided visits also inspire students to build strong content knowledge across disciplines, and support their confidence, curiosity, and creativity.

Due to the high demand for weekday morning guided tours, individual schools are limited to three weekday morning guided visits per semester. Please note that not all visit topics are available at all times.

Guided visits at The Met Fifth Avenue are conducted Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, 10:15 am–3 pm.

Guided visits at The Met Cloisters are conducted Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, 10 am–12 pm.

Please provide preferences for three possible dates and times. Guided visits can be scheduled no less than three weeks in advance. Do not consider your visit booked until you receive a confirmation letter via email from the Groups and Advance Sales Office.

Please note that because of the building's landmark status, accessibility at The Met Cloisters is somewhat limited for wheelchair users and others with mobility difficulties. To receive more information about accessibility or to request assistance, please provide as much information about your group as possible.

You have requested a self-guided visit, which allows you to lead your own students through the Museum.

If you plan to have your students sketch or write in the galleries, please bring clipboards or notebooks to use as hard surfaces on which to write. Please also be sure to bring pencils; pens and markers are not permitted in the galleries.
