How do SBMA tours differ from other types of travel? Whether you are traveling with a SBMA Curator or a university professor who specializes in the area you are visiting, or meeting local curators and experts while abroad, group travel with the SBMA offers an in-depth educational art experience you would not find traveling alone. SBMA-exclusive tours are designed specifically around the tastes and interests of SBMA members. Similarly, each tour that is a partnership with other organizations is carefully selected to suit the preferences of SBMA travelers. Many museums offer tours to select members only. SBMA offers a variety of tours that are open to all members. Educational travel that is connected to an organization offers a specialized and personal experience. Art travel and educational travel attract like-minded travel companions.
