Chazen Museum of Art offers drop-in, guided tours. Check the events listing for the next scheduled tour.
Request guided and self-guided tours for groups of more than 10 at least three weeks in advance. Start here.
Hours:
The museum is open for self-guided group visits during our regularly scheduled hours Monday–Friday, 10 a.m. – 7 p.m., and Saturday–Sunday, 11 a.m. – 5 p.m.
University groups of 40 or fewer may be able to access the Chazen for self-guided visits before regularly scheduled museum hours on a limited basis. During pre-open hours, classes must be accompanied by a faculty member or TA while on site and will also be accompanied by Chazen Museum staff. Please note that while the Chazen will do our best to accommodate requests, there may be occasional conflicts due to scheduled gallery maintenance that may affect museum access. Please direct requests to: tours@chazen.wisc.edu.
