MMoCA's tour program has a reputation for providing high-quality, lively, question-driven experiences for groups of students and adults that focus on critical and creative thinking through observation, analysis, and interpretation of original works of art. Docents at MMoCA are adept at engaging a variety of age groups with modern and contemporary art. Groups of 10 to 75 people may schedule a guided tour of the museum.
Call the Education Department at (608) 257-0158 or email scasteln@mmoca.org to schedule a guided tour or to request a self-guided visit of MMoCA exhibitions. Please schedule guided tours at least three weeks in advance of your desired date. Exceptions to this timeline may be arranged upon consultation with Education Department staff.
Teaching kits are available upon request and contain an outline of exhibition themes, background information on participating artists, pre- and post-visit discussion topics, and a CDRom and color illustrations of a representative selection of the art on view in the museum.
All guided tours meet Wisconsin Model Academic Standards for visual arts. Tours also may be tailored to address social studies or language arts standards.
MMoCA's classroom is available upon request for teacher-led activities following a tour and may be reserved for lunch for up to 35 students. Teachers who wish to lead activities in the classroom may supply their own materials or may request that the museum supply materials at a cost of $1.50 per student. Specialized materials may require a higher per-student fee.
The museum is fully accessible.
Group rates: $1 per student (no charge for teachers and adult chaperones); $3 per person for groups of adults. Tour fees are waived for students who qualify for free and reduced lunch programs.
