Education Programs

Education at the Phoebe A. Hearst Museum uses cultural history and the Museum’s collections to engage visitors with one another and the larger community and to inspire inquiry and exploration beyond our walls.

Family Programs

The Museum offers family programs that highlight world cultures and are appropriate for families with children ages 5 and older. 

K-12 Programs

Museum Tours: The Museum is currently undergoing a renovation and transformation of our galleries. When we reopen at the end of 2014, we will resume our program for K-12 classes led by trained Gallery Guides. K-12 guided tours at the Museum will provide students with memorable learning experiences linked to our collections of objects from ancient, historic and contemporary cultures around the world.

If you have any questions regarding our educational programs and tours, please call 510-643-9679 or email pahma-education@berkeley.edu
