School programs
Coming to MoMA gives students an opportunity to spend time with our collection of modern and contemporary art, develop close-looking and critical thinking skills, and make connections to their own lives.
During a guided visit, students will explore three to four works of art in depth through observation and discussion. These are interactive experiences in which students engage in conversation and may write, draw, or do small group work in the galleries. Before your visit, a MoMA learning specialist will contact you to discuss your goals and incorporate feedback into the planning of your visit.
We use broad themes to explore works of art. These themes provide points of entry for your students and allow MoMA educators to make connections to your curriculum. Take a look at our list of themes.
Everyone is welcome at MoMA. Our partnership with New York City’s Department of Education’s District 75 Office of Arts Education has given us an opportunity to serve students with disabilities across the five boroughs, providing students with opportunities for self-expression through multiple and nonverbal forms of communication. We foster an environment where students feel seen, heard, and valued, and we empower students to build self-confidence and community.

- Kindergarten–3rd grade: 60 minutes
- 4th–12th grade: 75 minutes
