In-person Program Offerings

Smithsonian Associates—the largest museum education program in the world—produces vibrant educational and cultural programming that offer unparalleled access to the Smithsonian's world of knowledge.

If you live in or plan to visit the Washington, D.C., area we invite you to join us in person on the National Mall for selected individual programs and studio arts classes and workshops, as well as a range of local and regional destinations in our walking tours, full-day study tours, and overnight tours.

As you browse the online descriptions of upcoming in-person programs, please take note of the policies designed to ensure a safe and meaningful experience for all ticket buyers. Smithsonian Associates requires all participants to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination to attend these programs.

At this time, our office staff are not mailing physical tickets for programs or maintaining in-person box office hours for the public. Please email CustomerService@SmithsonianAssociates.org or call 202-633-3030 (M–F, 10–3 ET) if you have any questions.
