Scheduling

Appointments must be scheduled at least two weeks in advance. During the months of September and February, please contact us to schedule your appointment as early as possible to ensure availability during these peak times in the school semester. All appointments will be scheduled for one hour unless otherwise requested. Please note that reservations are offered on a first come, first served basis and the museum is closed during exhibition installation. If you have a larger group, we will try to work with you to separate your group into sections to accommodate all students.

Cancellation

We require a 48-hour notice for tour cancellations. Instructors or individuals who have missed scheduled visits more than two times will no longer be permitted to make appointments for future tours or print viewings. Groups who arrive late will be accommodated only until the scheduled end of their appointment.

Bus Subsidies

The MoCP offers bus subsidies to schools in need. Requests must be submitted on the School Reservation form at least three weeks prior to requested date of field trip and must be approved by the MoCP in advance.
