Each October and February the Museum of the Southwest tours every fourth grader in the Midland Independent School District, free of charge. The tours visit three parts of the Museum's campus and design all three experiences around a central, cross-curricular theme.  Information is emailed to principals and teachers at the beginning of each school year and schedules are provided by MISD. 

​

Funding for 4th grade tours is provided by the Permian Basin Area Foundation.
