Guided and Group Tours
The exhibitions are designed to be self-guided. However, our Museum Guides are more than happy to give an impromptu highlights tour of the gallery upon request for small groups of walk-in visitors of 5 or less.
Groups larger than 5 that would like to book a guided tour, please contact the Curator of the Alabama Museum of the Health Sciences, Christina McClellan, at mcclelcm@uab.edu.
Group guided tours are free and open to the public, but must be booked at least 2 weeks in advance. Tours are subject to availability of staff.
High School tours and other groups with buses or special requests must provide minimum 4 weeks notice.
Our full guided tours vary in length and are highly interactive experiences.
