Sculpture Garden Guided Tour

Tours are free and reservations are not required.

Join us Friday through Sunday in the National Gallery’s outdoor Sculpture Garden for an engaging tour that explores modern and contemporary sculpture in a landscape setting.

Our one-hour tours meet in front of the Pavilion Café located on the west side of the fountain.

Sculpture Garden tours may be canceled due to excessive heat or rain. Tours take place seasonally, from April through the second weekend in June and September through the second weekend in November.

Sign-language interpreters and guides for visitors who are blind or have low vision are available for programs. Please call (202) 737-4215 or email [email protected] three weeks in advance for an appointment. Learn more about accessibility.
