Introducing your students to art is a great way to inspire, evoke curiosity, and encourage deeper conversations about the world around us.
Remai Modern offers resources and activities specially designed for educators and students to help kickstart a lifelong appreciation and love of art.
School Tours encourage experimentation, growth, and personal connection with art.
Select a Highlights Tour, featuring not-to-be-missed objects currently on view; or a Picasso Tour, with a focus on our collection of Picasso linocuts and ceramic works in historic and modern context.
Connecting exhibitions to curriculum needs of teachers and students, Remai Modern School Tours demonstrate that art crosses disciplines and is relevant to daily life.
In these tours, students can:
- Compare and contrast original works of art and build critical viewing skills
- Understand the ideas of a wide variety of professional historical and contemporary art/artists
- Practice inquiry-based and hands-on learning
- Develop a lifelong appreciation for art
Tours must be booked a minimum of two weeks in advance. We can accommodate two classrooms from a school at the same time. We offer tours in French by request—please indicate if this is your preference in the notes section on the booking form, or any special requests you may have.
