Group and Commercial Tour Information

Welcome to the NMM! Located on a bluff overlooking the Missouri River valley near where the Lewis & Clark expedition camped in 1804, Vermillion, South Dakota, is a small, typical Midwestern college town of 10,000 people. Not so typical is the National Music Museum, which is the home of some of the most important collections of rare, antique musical instruments to be found in anywhere in the world!

Welcome!

The NMM welcomes the opportunity to host your group or commercial tour. Guided tours of the NMM's collections are provided by trained educators. If requested, tours can be tailored to meet your group's specific interests. Advance reservations must be made for all commercial and group visits.

Information about Group and Commercial Tours

General tours usually last from 60-90 minutes, although the length can be adjusted to fit your schedule.

For a quality experience, we recommend tour groups of no more than 25-30 individuals. The NMM can accommodate no more than 48 people at one time. If your group is larger than this, please plan to split the group in half and make alternate arrangements (call the NMM for ideas).

Groups requesting tours will be charged $5.00 per person (there is no charge for the bus driver and tour leader). Tour guides will be provided.

Special programming (lunch programs, evening concert, etc.) requires a three-month notice and will cost $5.00 per person, plus artists’ fees and/or catering charges.

Groups of 10 or more will not be admitted without a confirmed registration.

Tours should be scheduled at least two weeks in advance of the desired date.

Because there is such a high demand for visits during the months of April and May, please call early to make your reservation.

Bus parking is available in a reserved space in front of the NMM.

Handicapped parking spaces are available in the northwest corner of the NMM lot. A wheelchair entrance with an elevator is located on the north side of the building. Please ring the doorbell and wait patiently for admittance.
