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.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. Self-guided tours can be scheduled Tuesday-Sunday during regular gallery hours.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.Guided School and Group Tours | Grades K-12
