Experiences for university groups

All required forms must be submitted a minimum of 14 days in advance of the visit date and no more than six months in advance.

University group options

A university group gathers around a guide pointing at an architectural painting in an ornate room with decorative walls and columns during their visit to Vizcaya Museum and Gardens.

University Groups may reserve a private Guided Tour of the first floor of the Main House and/or gardens. Tours are 45 minutes in duration and designed to be interactive and provide a basic introduction to the concepts behind the creation of the estate.

All tours foster inquiry and audience engagement, encouraging participants to make personal and meaningful connections with Vizcaya while encouraging new ways of thinking.

Tours can be custom tailored to connect with course curricula. Instructors wishing to lead self-directed art activities in the Main House and/or gardens must reserve these experiences with Vizcaya when scheduling their visit.

Guided Tour participants are welcome to explore additional areas of the Main House and/or gardens on their own before or after their guided tour(s).
