Re-Opening Visitor FAQs

Based on guidelines from the CDC, face masks have been shown to effectively prevent the spread of COVID-19, so for our safety and that of our audiences, staff and visitors over the age of 10 will be required to wear masks and practice social distancing regardless of the individual’s vaccination status. Visitors who are unwilling or unable to wear masks will not be admitted. If a visitor has health concerns, reasonable modifications include wearing a loose face covering, such as a gaiter, so long as it is made of two layers, fits snugly around the face and chin, and is worn over the nose and mouth throughout the duration of their visit; or visitors can explore our galleries and exhibitions online via virtual experiences. If a visitor is unable to attend in-person due to this policy, we encourage them to plan a visit when the Museum’s mask policy has been removed.A face shield does not serve as a substitute for a face mask in accordance with the CDC guidelines. If you do not have a mask, we are happy to provide a complimentary disposable mask. You may wear a face shield with a face mask during your visit.

We look forward to welcoming our community responsibly.
