Class Visits

In UMMA’s new facilities, faculty may bring students to tour the galleries or to see a specially selected group of objects in an object-study classroom.

Guided tours by our well-trained docent corps may be arranged for UM class groups. Alternatively, faculty members may lead their own classes on a self-guided tour or may arrange for Education Department staff or UMMA curators to lead special interest tours.

When planning to bring a class for a tour of our special exhibitions, even if you will be a self-guided group, please contact umma-tours@umich.edu or 734.764.0395. It may be possible to schedule a tour outside of public hours, however this must be scheduled several weeks in advance. Please ask for details.

Two specially outfitted object-study classrooms provide university and post-graduate educators, scholars, or classroom groups of up to 20 people with the opportunity to study at close range works of art in the original. To reserve a room and for more information, please click here.

Survey UMMA’s upcoming exhibitions for potential links to your curriculum or teaching plans. Note to instructors: When working in the gallery, visitors will be provided with pencils, clipboards, and stools. For the safety of the artwork, only pencils are allowed in the gallery and backpacks and large bags may be checked with Museum guards.
