Museum etiquette guidelines 

Please help us protect the artwork we have on display by respecting these guidelines:
  • Food and beverages (including water) must remain outside the gallery or may be left at the front reception desk.
  • Please do not touch artwork, pedestals or walls.
  • Backpacks, portfolios, briefcases, large purses, and similar items must be checked with the gallery attendant or museum staff upon entering the museum.
  • Use only pencils for note taking and sketching in the galleries. Pens and other indelible marking instruments can be detrimental to artworks.
  • Please check with museum staff regarding photography in the museum. Generally, photography is not allowed, but certain exceptions may be made on a case-by-case basis. Flash photography is detrimental to many types of artworks and so cannot be permitted.
  • Please be considerate of others, turn cell phones off or down while in the museum, and step outside the museum galleries to have telephone conversations.
  • Please leave pets in a safe location outside of the building.
