K-12 School Group Visits

Planning a school visit to the Tenement Museum? We offer specialized 1-hour programs for all students grades K-12 – whether they’re exploring our historic tenements and surrounding Lower East Side neighborhood in-person or virtually. Our hands-on, student-centered programs explore themes of im/migration and include a visit to a recreated apartment or the local neighborhood.

Reservations for groups can be scheduled throughout the day from 10 am – 5 pm. Slots book up quickly, so early reservations are recommended (at least 2 weeks in advance).
