Booking Date & Time

Museum-led programs are available Monday to Friday at the following times: 10:15 am and 12:45 pm.

Offsite programs are available Wednesdays and Fridays throughout the day from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm.

Self-led programs are available Monday to Friday at the following times: 11:30 am, 2:00 pm, 3:00 pm, and 4:00 pm.

Please see the program availability calendar before booking. For museum-led programs, it is highly encouraged to make time before or after your booking to explore the museum fully.

For self-led visits, booking your visit with us in advance allows us to better coordinate the use of our gallery space by different groups, and schedule staff accordingly. This does not guarantee your group will have sole use of the gallery or any facilitation by staff. However, booking self-led visits is greatly appreciated by the PME team, specifically for groups of 15 or more!

Please select your first choice. Programs are only available on weekdays. Booking requests should be made at least 2 weeks in advance.
