Educators Online We encourage teachers to integrate Museum visits into their curriculums. For teachers who plan to bring their class on a series of visits, the first and second visits are full price; the third and any subsequent visits are $3 per student. You must book all visits at once.
A minimum of one chaperone is required for every ten students. Student aides and one adult per every ten students are admitted free. All additional chaperones $18. Chaperones are responsible for preventing loud, boisterous, or disruptive behavior. Art works may not be touched. If you arrive without the appropriate number of chaperones, the Museum reserves the right to cancel your visit.
The school group entrance is the new State Street Corporation Fenway Entrance, located off The Fenway.
In order to ensure a meaningful learning experience for all students, gallery capacity is monitored. If a gallery is full, the MFA's Protective Services staff may advise a group to wait temporarily before entering.
School groups are welcome to eat their own lunches outside on MFA grounds, free of charge but are not allowed to eat in the cafeteria. Tables, chairs, boxed lunches, or vouchers are available on a limited, pre-registration basis. Teachers have the following options:
