Field Experiences at IMAS

Welcome to Field Experiences at IMAS!

At the International Museum of Art & Science (IMAS), we refer to our educational outings as “field experiences” to emphasize the immersive and hands-on nature of our programs. Designed for students/adults of all ages, these experiences offer a unique opportunity to engage with art, science, and culture in a dynamic environment.

IMAS offers two options for your visit: educator-led Guided Tours and self-guided General Visits.
