Bring your students to visit The Ringling and use the museum as your classroom before or after your visit to the EOD exhibit in Bayfront Park!
Teacher-led visits offer teachers the opportunity to take a FREE field trip to the various venues on campus including the Museum of Art, Circus Museum, Bayfront Gardens and Ca' d'Zan. Museum educators do not facilitate teacher-led visits, allowing teachers the flexibility to engage with The Ringling’s collections however you’d like. We do provide teacher resources below to help you guide your students through the museum.
