Teacher-Guided Visits
Teacher-guided visits are perfect for teachers who want to lead their own tours of the Museum. Groups are welcome to explore the MFAH art collections and any nonticketed exhibitions. Reservations for groups are needed at least two weeks in advance. Availability and space are limited, so be sure to book before planning your trip.
