    • Saturday - Sunday: 11AM to 8PM
       
  • Self-Guided: You are welcome to visit during gallery open hours. Letting us know of your visit in advance allows us to see if other groups also plan to use the galleries at the same time.
     
  • Guided: ​​By appointment, guided tours of UMMA’s collection galleries and special exhibitions.
     
  • If your class occurs outside of open gallery hours, please submit a request at least four weeks in advance so proper arrangements can be made.
  • Available Monday - Friday, 9-5pm, or by special arrangement
     
  • Instructors and Researchers can request access to objects not on display in the galleries for viewing in our study rooms. Reservations need to be made at least three weeks in advance.
