Programs for Students

School Tours

Thanks to a generous gift from the Willard and Pat Walker Charitable Foundation, K-12 school groups are able to visit Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art without the cost barriers associated with off-campus field trips.

This program will provide your school with reimbursements toward the costs associated with transportation and substitute teachers (up to $250) for your visit to Crystal Bridges. The Museum will provide every school group with a tour, pre/post-visit curriculum, a healthy lunch, and a souvenir gift bag at no cost.
