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!
