Make the San Jose Museum of Art part of your curriculum. As Silicon Valley’s leading institution dedicated to the art of our time, SJMA presents modern and contemporary exhibitions-- the perfect backdrop for writing assignments, research projects, and exploring the creative process.

Guided and self-guided tours are available at a discounted rate of just $70 for up to 30 students. Tour the museum on your own or customize the experience with SJMA’s professional staff. For example:

• An arts writing class meets the director of education to discuss writing for museum audiences.

•  Education students explore the constructivist nature of learning in art museums with SJMA’s gallery teachers.
• Add a hands-on art-making activity with our 2-Part Art for Adults.
