Tours at the Wexner Center

Come and see what's on view at the Wexner Center. Bring your students, visit with a youth or community group, come on your own or with your family.

Guided tours are great ways to find out more about the Wexner Center's exhibitions and architecture. Tours bring art and architecture alive through spirited discussion and often provide unique "behind-the-scenes" insights into contemporary culture.

Walk-in Tours

Walk-in Tours for individual visitors and small groups (fewer than 10) are available most Thursday evenings at 5 PM and most Saturdays at 1 PM when exhibitions are open. These hour-long tours allow plenty of time for questions and discussion. Reservations are not required. Check the current schedule on the Public Programs pages.

Walk-in Tours during our special presentation of Andy Warhol: Other Voices, Other Rooms at 1 PM on Saturdays are free with gallery admission. Thursday tours at 5 PM are free as part of the free hours for the exhibition from 4 to 8 PM on Thursdays.

Self-Guided Tours

Groups visiting the center on a self-guided basis are always welcome! If your group will be larger than 10 people, we ask that you call us the education department at least 3 weeks in advance of your desired visit. Due to high levels of gallery traffic during the current exhibition, groups may be asked to consider an alternative date for their visit. Self-guided tours can be scheduled Tuesday-Sunday during regular gallery hours.

Groups of 10 or more are eligible to purchase tickets to Andy Warhol: Other Voices, Other Rooms at the discounted group rate.

Guided Tours for Community Groups

Guided architecture tours and exhibition tours are available for college and university groups, youth or adult community groups, and travel groups. Tours are always lively, interactive, and fun—and they can be individually tailored for varied ages and interests. All tours must be scheduled a minimum of three weeks in advance. Groups of children ages 13 or younger must be accompanied by one adult for every 10 children.

Groups of 10 or more are eligible to purchase tickets to Andy Warhol: Other Voices, Other Rooms at the discounted group rate.

Guided School and Group Tours | Grades K-12

Our tour program for 2007-08 emphasizes tours of contemporary art on view at the Wexner Center galleries and tours of our building's spectacular and unique architecture. All tours are led by professional educators or trained guides.

Tours are highly individualized and interactive, and tour content is always age appropriate. Please talk with us about how we can plan your tour to enhance your classroom curriculum. Tours can be planned to fit your course objectives in language arts, social studies, history, the visual arts, foreign languages, and many other subjects.

School tours are typically scheduled Tuesday through Friday from 10 AM to 3 PM and last about an hour.

Admission to Andy Warhol: Other Voices, Other Rooms is free for all educational groups. Please call the education department to inquire if your group qualifies.
