Chatsworth Group Tours
The Tyler Museum of Art is offering discounted ticket pricing for clubs and organizations that want to schedule group visits during the upcoming exhibition The Devonshire Inheritance: Five Centuries of Collecting at Chatsworth, July 30–October 23, 2005.

Special exhibition ticket rates are available for $7.00 per ticket for groups booking at least two weeks in advance, with a minimum of ten adults (students and children's tickets are regular pricing).

If your group wants to schedule a docent-led tour, an additional charge of $20 will be charged per group of 15 visitors. Groups numbering more than 15 will need to be divided so all guests will have adequate access to the exhibition pieces, but multiple groups can view the exhibition at the same time in various galleries. For very large groups, sequential tour times can be scheduled.

The Tyler Museum of Art is expecting large numbers of visitors for this exceptional exhibition and wants to make your visit a rewarding, unique experience. Reserve your group tickets today, and enjoy the most famous private collection in England by calling 903-595-1001 or email your preferred visit date and time, along with a daytime phone number to info@tylermuseum.org and someone will contact you about your reservation.
