Come experience our collection and special exhibitions as an individual, with friends, or with a group on a guided visit led by one of our friendly and knowledgeable docents, or on your own with a self-guided option.
Group Tours
Self-guided group tours offer admission to Carnegie Museums of Art and Natural History while guided, conversation-based tours are 60 minutes in length and are designed for groups of 10–15 adults (ages 16+). We’re happy to offer custom tours to meet the interests and needs of your group! As part of our offerings, we lead verbal description tours for individuals who are blind and tours in American Sign Language, available upon request. Tour fees include admission to both the Museum of Art and the Museum of Natural History.
