Although you are welcome to visit our galleries without an appointment, consider a docent presentation. We want your experience to be as positive as possible. Therefore, we limit group size to 30 and we expect four adults to chaperone school groups.
Recommended Ages: all ages
Experience the daily life of ancient people by studying the artifacts they left behind. Your group will dress in replicas of ancient textiles, grind corn, identify pottery styles and weave on basket frames.
Recommended Ages: 6th grade and up
Discover what makes us "human"; that is, what distinguishes us from our primate ancestors and cousins: bipedalism, brain capacity, tool use and manufacture; language and culture.
Self-guided visits are free. We ask that groups call the education department to check our calendar and assign a date and time for your group, exclusive of any other groups. We recommend large groups divide into smaller groups of about 25-30 total people and stagger their entry every 30-45 minutes.
