About Virtual Field Trips
During these free, interactive experiences with a museum educator, students actively engage in discussion and develop visual literacy skills through closely looking at, describing, and connecting with two or three works of art from the Museum’s collection.
Virtual Field Trip Length
- Kindergarten–5th grade: 30 minutes
- 6th–12th grade: 30 or 45 minutes (teacher’s choice)
Class Size
Each Virtual Field Trip program is designed for one class at a time, with a minimum of five students and a maximum of 30 students. If you have more than one class, please sign up for multiple sessions.
The NCMA welcomes students with disabilities and diverse learning needs to participate in our virtual field trip program. Virtual Field Trips can be customized according to a teacher’s recommendations to ensure the accessibility of the experience. Live captioning (in several different languages), audio description, and ASL interpretation are available upon request.
