Planning a class visit?
We want your visit to be special and run smoothly so we've put together some resources to help.
School Groups Tours
Free guided or self-guided general Gallery tours for school groups are also available. The Gallery also offers professional development workshops for teachers, alongside specific exhibitions. Many Gallery programs involve relevant industry professionals, which in the past have included visual artists, animators, puppeteers, chefs, musicians, dancers, entomologists and rangers.
Please let us know your excursion requirements and Gallery staff will tailor a group tour accordingly.
