The Studio Museum in Harlem

The Museum provides learning opportunities for visitors of all ages. Experienced educators work with both children and adults at all developmental and cognitive levels.

Guided tours are available for all exhibitions to ensure that individuals with a range of abilities can experience the Museum. Tours tailored to visitors with physical or developmental challenges can also be arranged. Accommodations can be made for visitors in wheelchairs or with limited mobility.

When scheduling a school visit to the Studio Museum, educators are asked to notify the Education Department about the learning or physical needs of their students.
