Make the San Jose Museum of Art part of your curriculum. As the Silicon Valley’s leading institution dedicated to the art of our time, modern and contemporary exhibitions offer the perfect backdrop for writing assignments, research projects, and exploring the creative process. Our galleries support quiet contemplation, but the Museum thrives as a place of vibrant exchange. We hope you will take advantage of SJMA adult education programs including guided tours, on-site activities, artist interviews, and reading areas within the exhibitions.

Self-guided experiences for you and your students include free iPod Touch in-gallery activities and opportunities to turn your art viewing into art-making by writing poems or sketching.

Check our calendar of events for artist talks and other public programs, and explore our podcasts for enlightening artist interviews and other insights into the artistic process.

Book a private tour for your class using our online scheduler or send students on their own. Explore the upcoming exhibitions now and create a museum-going culture with your students!
