The Northern Illinois University Art Museum is pleased to announce its roster of bus excursions for fall 2022. The Get-On-The-Bus trips of the NIU Art Museum are great ways to meet other art lovers, keep up with what’s happening in the art world, see innovative historical exhibits and travel without the hassle of traffic, tolls and parking! Bus trips are planned to take advantage of the best visual art offerings in the region, in correlation with the museum’s own exhibitions and by suggestion of the members of the NIU Art Museum.

Coach USA/Van Galder buses include large, comfortable reclining seats, Wi-Fi and restroom, and they undergo intensive cleaning and sanitation after each trip, featuring filtration of the onboard air every two minutes and a complete replacement with fresh outside air every 10 minutes. Van Galder bus drivers participate in a Greenroad program gaining points for conscientious environmental driving practices. Masks are not required on the bus but certainly recommended and should be brought in case one is needed at a venue.

The trips kick off in September. Please note, dates and prices of bus trips are subject to change and trips are frequently added throughout the year, so please our website for the most updated information.

The NIU Art Museum office is currently open Tuesday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. To register for these trips, please stop by the NIU Art Museum, first floor, west end of Altgeld Hall, telephone (815-753-1936) or email artmuseum@niu.edu.
