Witte Museum Outreach

We always want your first choice to be to come visit the Witte Museum, but we understand it is not always possible. In that situation, the Witte can come to you!

Our Programs Team is able to present to one class, one grade level or an entire school!

If this is of interest, please email the Witte at Education@wittemuseum.org with your choice of program, the number of students, and your desired date. Programs must be booked at least 30 days in advance. The fee will depend on the program requested and the number of times the program is presented.

We look forward to hearing from you!
