Schools + Family

The Wolfsonian is fun for all ages! Discovering Design brings together The Wolfsonian's educational programs for youth, families, and K–12 students across Miami-Dade County. Through gallery tours, hands-on making, and school partnerships, participants learn to look closely, ask questions, and use art and design to better understand the world. Discover how design shapes everyday life while building skills in critical thinking, communication, and creative problem-solving.

Interested in a Tour?

Whether you're looking to tour The Wolf with family, friends, or a class, our museum educators are here to make your visit special.

Types of tours

For Schools + Teachers

Bring The Wolfsonian into your classroom, or bring your classroom to The Wolfsonian! Ranging from one-time visits to multi-part programs, our K–12 offerings are always free of charge for Florida public schools.

  • STEAM

    Looking for a way to integrate STEAM concepts into your classroom? Through printmaking and circuitry, our STEAM programs invite elementary and middle school students to engage with our collection and find connections between creative practice and science, technology, engineering, art, and math.

  • Zines for Progress

    What happens when students turn ideas into print? Using the Wolfsonian collection as inspiration, Zines for Progress helps high school students engage with social issues through collaborative zine-making. Along the way, they build communication, media literacy, and critical-thinking skills while learning to express their perspectives.

For Families

Experience the museum together through free programs and self-guided activities designed especially for families. From art-making to gallery adventures, our family offerings invite kids and adults to look closely, get creative, and encounter something new.

  • Free Family Days

    Bring your #WolfCubs to learn and play with local artists on select Saturdays and Sundays. Every Free Family Day explores a different theme and includes a hands-on art-making activity plus a musical performance, gallery tour, or game. Check our calendar for upcoming events.

  • Gallery Guides

    Take a self-guided tour of our exhibitions! Whether you're looking for creative creatures or becoming building detectives, each family gallery guide leads to unexpected discoveries. Ask our friendly visitor services staff for the latest guide when you visit.
