ENJOYING THE MUSEUM

GUIDELINES¬

Contemporary art is an ever-changing experience, and we want everyone to get to enjoy that! So here are a few things to note before your visit that help us ensure that everyone can have a good time.

MASKS ARE OUR FRIENDS
For the safety of our community, masks are required throughout the Museum for all visitors age 3 and up, regardless of vaccination status. This goes for all parts of the Museum during all times of the day. We ask that you make sure to wear a mask that covers both your mouth and nose.

IF YOU CAN'T CARRY IT, LEAVE IT
Even an accidental bump can be a big deal for the artwork. So, to keep the work protected, we can't allow large bags, bulky items, or backpacks in the gallery. Plan to visit light.

AND OF COURSE...
No food or drinks in the galleries, no flash photos (Dale Chihuly’s Mille Colori is ok, as it lives here permanently), and please touch with your eyes only unless told otherwise—we want to preserve the artwork for all future art lovers. And while we love our artists-in-the-making, all children must be accompanied by an adult.

IMPROVING YOUR MUSEUM EXPERIENCE

ACCESSIBILITY¬

We strive to make the art experience welcoming to everyone and accessible in many forms.

DIFFICULTY STANDING?
We have portable gallery chairs you can carry with you—they weigh less than 2 pounds! The Museum is also fully wheelchair accessible.

TROUBLE NAVIGATING STAIRS?
There are no stairs required to visit any of the artwork in the Museum.
