Self-Guided Visits
Self-guided groups are welcome to visit the NGC and the CMCP, but we ask that you notify the Group Reservation Office in advance at 613-990-4888 to ensure that your preferred gallery is available.

Teacher and Supervisor Roles
We expect adults accompanying student groups to support the teacher’s goals in bringing their class to the NGC and CMCP. Teachers and chaperones must supervise K–12 students at all times, including during lunch breaks, while visiting the Bookstore, and during self-guided activities.  Specifically, teachers and chaperones will be required to:

• monitor students during in-gallery activities;
• assist with studio activities such as preparing and distributing materials
• clean up at the end of the activity.

Teachers and Supervisors: Ratio to Students
Please ensure that there is a 1:5 supervisor-to student ratio with all elementary groups.  Intermediate and high school groups require a 1:10 ratio. Teachers and supervisors visit free of charge, up to the ratio limit. In order to keep group sizes at an optimum level and ensure the quality of your program, we ask that you not bring more than the required number of adult supervisors.

Group Sizes
Each theme is designed for a group of approximately 25 students. Both the NGC and the CMCP can accommodate more than one group at a time.  The minimum group size is 15 students. If your group is smaller than 15, you can still book a program; however, you will be charged for 15 students.

Lunch Facilities
National Galery of Canada School groups may eat brought lunches in Sketches (located in the Tour Group Lobby; limited seating on a first-come basis), or they may purchase food at The Cafeteria.

Canadian Museum of Contemporary Photography: No food services or facilities are available at the CMCP.

Parking
Bus parking details will be provided on request at the time of booking. There is no parking at the CMCP. Groups visiting the CMCP should report to the Wellington Street entrance, located between the Fairmont Château Laurier Hotel and the Rideau Canal.
