Museum Group Tours

The museum is unable to book exhibition and collection tours at this time.
We hope they will resume shortly. Sorry for any inconvenience. 

The museum is visited by hundreds of classes and groups every year, serving FIT students, students from other local, national, and international institutions (Central Saint Martins from London, Bunka from Tokyo, etc.), and adult and specialty groups.
When we resume tours, bookings can be made through Lynn Sallaberry.
