Guidelines for Docent-Led Tours

Docent-led tours are for students Primary 5 and older only. Due to limitations in number of docents and capacity for tours, we recommend that large school groups come for self-guided visits instead.

Tours are approximately an hour long and conducted in English, Mandarin or Japanese only. They are available only for Once Upon a Tide (up to 9 Oct 2026) and do not apply for other galleries in the museum, unless otherwise stated.
