Higgins Armory Museum

Group Adult Tours

Groups of twelve or more people can enjoy a special group visit program at a discounted price. This in-depth experience begins with a live arms and armor presentation given by an Education Interpreter that includes fascinating information about the founding of the Museum, the evolution of arms and armor, and the different types of armor. Then, enjoy a guided tour of the Higgins galleries, including the magnificent gothic-style Great Hall. In the galleries, you’ll see authentic suits of armor, weapons, and other artifacts that make up one of the world’s most significant collections of arms and armor. Following the tour, your group will have free time to further explore the Museum and visit the Museum Store.

Call (508) 853-6015, ext. 20, or email higgins@higgins.org to book your visit.
