Book a guided tour for your teaching group to our current exhibitions. Our guided tours are suitable for daycares, preschools, primary and secondary schools, high schools, and vocational schools. The group will be accommodated according to their age level. Please indicate your preferences when making the reservation.
The museum is a diverse learning environment, and school curriculums encourage the utilization of the opportunities such an environment offers. Architecture and design are suitable for many subjects and for phenomenon-based learning that crosses subject boundariesin early childhood education and basic education.
We conduct guided tours for teaching groups in Finnish, Swedish, English, and Russian using plain language, and with audio descriptions. The maximum size for a guided tour group is 25 persons. However, teaching groups with instructors can still participate as a single group if the group size is exceeded by a few participants.
