Tours

SFMOMA's school tours encourage students to think creatively while stimulating an interest in modern and contemporary art. Students are invited to look, discover, question, and explore modern and contemporary art through lively discussion, careful observation, and hands-on art activities. Visit our School Tours page to learn more about the tours we offer for grades 3 - 8 and high school.

Art Express Outreach Program

The Art Express outreach program is designed for classes in kindergarten and higher that are unable to visit the museum. Docents travel to your classroom to lead a 30- to 45-minute discussion and hands-on art activity that introduces key concepts of modern and contemporary art to your students. To schedule an Art Express session, complete the application (PDF) and return it to the Docent Tour Scheduling Office by the deadline indicated. This program is free of charge.
