Adult Guided Tours

Our guided tour experiences are 60 minutes. Please contact Kassidy Childs at kassidy.childs@mintmuseum.org for any time constraint concerns.

We offer thematic tours for both museum locations that create a thread of commonality through our collection. We also offer tours of our special exhibit spaces upon request.

Only SMALL bags are allowed within our museum. Anything larger than a purse must be stored in our Orientation Room before the tour begins.

Food and drinks are not allowed within our galleries. Food and drinks can also be stored in the Orientation Room.

Unless labeled otherwise, photography without flash is allowed within the museum.

Please refrain from touching the artwork. Pieces allowed to be touched will be labeled as such. Please avoid any rough or boisterous behavior to prevent the damage of any pieces within our galleries.

There are restrooms on all floors with gallery spaces. Restrooms are located by the elevators.

Mint Museum Randolph – There is a large greenway in the front of the museum that is open to the public. There are also outdoor benches that can be used as well.

Mint Museum Uptown – There are multiple sets of tables and chairs in the front of the museum that are open to the public.

*For indoor spaces to eat before or after the tour, please contact Kassidy Childs at kassidy.childs@mintmuseum.org

Please go over the museum rules and policies with your group, including chaperones.

Before the visitation date, teachers can visit either museum location for free to prepare for their visit. We also provide a KWL (Know, Want, Learn) Chart for teachers to have their students start before their visit, and complete after their visit, attached here. Completed charts can be sent to Kassidy Childs at kassidy.childs@mintmuseum.org

For guided experiences, Docents will lead you through the museum to talk about pieces highlighted on the tour. For self-guided experiences, we have maps of the museum located at the front desk.

Inform students that if they are separated from their group, ask a security officer in the galleries or guest services associate at the front desk to help them get back to the right place.

We provide many accessibility resources for those with disabilities. For more details, go to our accessibility page or contact Kassidy Childs at kassidy.childs@mintmuseum.org

Students are encouraged to create a dialogue with their Docents during the tour. To ask questions, students may raise their hand to let the guiding Docent know that they would like to ask a question.

Teachers and chaperones are also encouraged to participate.

With Docents guiding the rest of the group, teachers and chaperones can take the student aside and discuss what issues may have occurred and join the group again after the issue has been addressed.
