Tours
Group Tours
The Davis Museum at Wellesley College offers guided tours to public groups during open hours, Tuesday through Sunday from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Our specially-trained Student Guides engage visitors with the Davis’s distinctive permanent collections and special temporary exhibitions through dialogue-based, interactive experiences. Admission is free; reservations are required, and must be made two weeks in advance. School groups are encouraged to apply for our School Bus Subsidy, generously supported by The Palley Endowment Fund for Davis Museum Outreach Programs.
Tours are customized according to interest area, and the Davis now offers guided group tours in English, Spanish, and Portuguese with prior arrangements. To schedule your visit or to request more information, please fill out this reservation form.
The Student Guide program is generously supported by the Elizabeth Bein Keto '48 Endowed Memorial Art Fund.
Self-Guided Tours
If a guided tour is unavailable, groups larger than 5 may choose to visit the galleries on their own. Outside tour leaders and guides may not lead groups through the Davis Museum with the exception of college classes lead by credentialed faculty. All self-guided groups may check in at the front desk for a brief orientation.
