Group Tours

FOR K-12 AND NON-SCHOOL GROUPS

What we offer

The Urban Civil Rights Museum in Harlem welcomes K-12 schools, after-school programs, colleges and universities, community organizations, camp groups, and adult groups for guided tours led by Museum Educators, as well as self-guided visits for non-school groups seeking a more independent experience. Guided tours encourage learners to explore the Museum’s exhibitions, which focus on the long and ongoing struggle for justice in Northern urban environments through dialogue, reflection, and active participation.

K-12 groups includes schools, after school programs, and camp groups. School groups may choose between a 1-hour guided tour or a 2-hour experience that combines a guided tour with a hands-on workshop. Visitors are tailored by grade level and grounded in inquiry-based learning, primary sources, and themes of Freedom, Justice, Migration, Identity, Resistance, and Civic Power.

Non-school groups include colleges and universities, tourist groups, community organizations, and senior centers. Groups may choose from a menu of 40-minute guided tours, including a Museum overview, the inaugural exhibition, or explorations of specific historical periods that illuminate the ongoing struggle for Civil Rights and social justice.

Groups may also opt for a self-guided visit, allowing participants to explore the Museum at their own pace and engage with the exhibitions independently.

All guided and self-guided groups must submit an interest form through the Booking page.
