Student Tour Groups
Thank you for scheduling a docent-guided tour at the North Carolina Museum of Art. We look forward to your visit! The Tour Program Coordinator’s number is (919) 664-6820; the West Building information desk is (919) 664-6801.
Tours run approximately 50 minutes. Please arrive 10-15 minutes ahead of your reservation. If you are running late, please call. Tours that start late for any reason will be abbreviated so that other tours can begin on time; after 30 minutes, your tour will be canceled.
Parking
The main lot for all vehicles is beside Blue Ridge Road; turn RIGHT directly from Blue Ridge or from our entrance driveway. Parking for those with handicaps is available in the lower lot and on the Plaza, near the east building. Vehicles may not idle on campus.
Directions to the drop off areas
Turn LEFT from our drive on Blue Ridge Rd and follow the signs toward the east (brick) building and “Visitor Dropoff.” Unload at the marked curb. During inclement weather, unload on the plaza in front of the west (metal façade) building.
Chaperons and Grouping
A chaperon is a teacher or school-approved adult who ensures that students observe Museum etiquette as specified below. For touring, groups must divide into teams of 10-15 with at least 1 and not more than 2 chaperons; groups are determined before arrival. We suggest you make color-coded nametags for the students to help ensure that you start your tour organized and on time.
Communication
A Museum docent assigned to your tour will contact you 2 weeks in advance to confirm details. You may request specific works of art but may not change your tour theme or add to the number of students on the tour.

· Dispose of gum before entering galleries
· Food and drink are not permitted in the galleries
· Do not touch works if art, walls, or pedestals (indoors and outdoors)
