Group Visits and Guided Tours

Online Registration

We kindly request that you contact the museum with your group's interest as soon as you begin planning, so we can schedule staffing for your tour. Tours can be arranged outside of our regular gallery hours with advance notice.

To arrange a group visit by phone please call the museum at 815-753-1936. Group Visit and Guided Tour Reservation form (PDF)

Guidelines

We would like your visit to be a positive experience. The space limitations, layout, safety and fragility of the artwork in the exhibition, and other scheduled groups may impact our ability to accommodate very large groups or multiple groups at the same time. We recommend and require advance notice for large groups of ten or more people before arriving at the museum. To accommodate as many requests as possible we may schedule additional gallery attendants or divide your group into smaller tours.

Please know that gallery capacity changes with every exhibition and is limited per gallery.

Please note that many of our exhibitions explore challenging, contemporary subject matter and may not be suitable for all audiences. We recommend that visitors contact the museum before organizing visits with young children.

Evaluation

After your visit please complete our evaluation (PDF) survey so that we can better accommodate future groups.
