Student Tours & Programs

Student Tours of the New Orleans Pharmacy Museum

The Pharmacy Museum offers guided tours for students from elementary through higher education. Educators may select a traditional narrated tour or a specialized program that uses the historic pharmacy as a lens for examining topics in STEM, social studies, art, and English language arts. Each program is aligned with Louisiana state curriculum standards and is designed to reinforce classroom learning through real-world context. Tours can also be adapted to support specific learning goals and the developmental needs of your students.
