Tours by Harvard students connect visitors with the research, teaching, and Indigenous engagement surrounding the cultural heritage in the museum’s care. How do items come to the museum? Who accesses them and how do items return home?

Visitors may drop in at the scheduled times. No reservation is required. Tours meet in the lobby and last approximately 45 minutes. Tours for groups of ten or more may be scheduled at these and other times.

Offered on: Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays at 2:00pm and Sundays at 11:00am
Regular museum admission rates apply. Free museum admission for Massachusetts residents every Sunday morning (year-round) from 9:00am to 12:00pm. Proof of residency required. Free museum admission is not available to commercial groups.

Please note: Tours will not be offered on the following dates: November 24–26, 2023; December 4, 2023–January 21, 2024; and March 9–17, 2024.
