Please note that chaperones are to be included in total group count.
Adults should not have their own infant our young child with them in addition to serving as a group chaperone.
Ensure everyone has a positive experience by remaining with your group at all times and helping them remember to:
Adult chaperones make field trips better, but there is no substitute for teachers.
We encourage class leads to check in with all groups during their visit to support chaperones in managing students.
Outside food and drink, other than bottled water, are not permitted inside the galleries.
The Museum in Washington, DC does not have space available for groups to eat outside food within the Museum.
