We welcome visitors throughout the year, but it's best to come when classes are in session if you want to see the School in action.
Most visits include a personal interview and
portfolio review, as well as a tour of the School. Although interviews are not an admissions requirement, we highly recommend that you take advantage of the opportunity to meet personally with an admissions counselor. It's a great chance to present your work and receive valuable guidance on portfolio preparation.
The Admissions Office hours are Monday–Friday from 9 am until 5 pm. Tours of the school can be scheduled by calling 617-369-3626. As part of your tour you will have the opportunity to meet with admissions staff, review your artwork and tour the facilities of the school. You will also be given a free pass to tour the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. This is a great way to experience the Museum School and our programs, meet staff, students and faculty and see our campus.

The Admissions Office hosts open house events three times each year. Open houses involve Museum School staff, faculty, students and alumni in a variety of activities that are designed to provide a unique insight into life as a student at SMFA. You will participate in workshops, a comprehensive Q+A panel, meet with staff for information on portfolio preparation, financial aid and scholarships and tour the school and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
