Frequently asked questions about group visits

We offer two different kinds of tours – self-guided or a guided tour. Self-guided tours allow guests to explore the galleries at their own pace and the ticket is valid for the day. There is also an option to take a 60-minute guided tour, with time at the end to explore the galleries on your own. Please see pricing on the website.

We prefer to have group self-guided tours booked and payment finalized at least 7 days prior the desired date. For guided tours, we prefer to have the group booked and payment finalized at least 14 days prior to the visit so that a tour guide can be scheduled for your group. If you would like to book a group after this time range, reach out to groupsales@usopm.org to check availability.
