Please plan your visit at least 5 business days in advance by contacting Visitor Services so we can guarantee a staff member is available. Staff-led Tours require a $30 deposit and a $15 fee per person, due the day of your tour.
Curator Tours
MOCAD Curators are experts at sharing background information about the artists and artworks, providing social and historical context, and creating connections with everyday life. They will guide you through the galleries, sharing insights on everything from the installation process to individual artist’s techniques.
Please plan your visit at least 10 business days in advance by reaching out to Visitor Services so we can guarantee that a staff member is available. Curator Tours require a $50 deposit and a $15 fee per person, due the day of your tour.
